This was a light heavyweight contest between "Basking" Jack Bloomfield and Tommy Gibbons. The undercard included a heavyweight contest between Phil Scott and Andre Anderson (won by Scott). Bloomfield, from Islington had been British Light Heavyweight champion since 1922, shortly after moving up from Middleweight. Gibbons, from Minnesota, had recently lost the World Heavyweight title to Jack Dempsey in 1923. Although he was coming towards the end of his career he was still a formidable opponent, losing only four times in over a hundred bouts. Gibbons won by a knockout in the third round and Bloomfield never fought again. Gibbons retired the following year after his fourth defeat. The promoter was bankrupted after struggling to meet Gibbons financial demands. Aerofilms Collection (see Links).<br><em>© Historic England</em>")

This was the first Cup Final held at the then brand-new Wembley Stadium, which had been built in 300 days at a cost of 750,000. Before the match began a crowd of about 100,000 (most without a ticket) stormed through the gates and into the stadium. This meant that there was approximately 200,000 people in a ground designed for 127,000. The photograph shows the scene as the spectators moved onto the pitch, due to the pressure of people behind them.
