The 1909 FA Charity Shield was the second Charity Shield, a football match contested by the winners of the previous season's Football League and Southern League competitions.
The match was played at Stamford Bridge, London, and ended with a 2–0 win for Newcastle United.
The goals were scored either side of half-time, by Jack Allan and Jock Rutherford.
Northampton Town had risen to prominence under the management of Herbert Chapman, a pioneering manager[3] who would later go on to win the Football League with Huddersfield Town and Arsenal.
