1900–01 FA Cup

The cup was won by Tottenham Hotspur of the Southern League, who defeated Sheffield United 3–1 in a replay after a 2–2 draw in the first game.

Barnsley, Blackpool, Burton Swifts, Chesterfield, Gainsborough Trinity, Lincoln City, Middlesbrough, Stockport County and Walsall were all entered in the third qualifying round.

They were joined by non-league sides Darwen, Crewe Alexandra, Kettering, Bristol Rovers, Reading, Luton Town and West Ham United.

Bristol Rovers and future three-time Cup champions West Ham United were appearing in the competition proper for the first time.

This rematch again resulted in a draw, so a second replay was played the following week at a neutral venue (Swindon Town's County Ground).

The other game, Tottenham Hotspur against West Bromwich Albion, was delayed until Monday 8 April and finished in a convincing win for Spurs.

Brown put Spurs ahead early in the second half, but, not to be denied, Sheffield United pressed strongly, and Walter Bennett headed an equaliser for the draw.
