1877 Final

 Mr Sidney Havell Wright (Great Marlow F.C.) presided over the usual ingredients: The Oval,  Kinnaird, 3000  spectators.

Contoversy! With the score at 0-0 , Kinnaird (playing in goal for Wanderers) carried the ball over the line for an own goal.  Wanderers equalized with 4 minutes remaining and went on to win 2-1 in extra time. A great tradition of football history is that Kinnaird then used his influence to have his own goal excised from the records.  

In a competition that was expanding with every season Wanderers began the 1877-78 campaign with a handsome 9-1 win over Panthers on 7.11.77. They followed this up with a trip to High Wycombe where they won 9-0 on 15.12.77.
