The amazing tale of the White Horse Final: 100 years ago Bolton became the first team to win the FA Cup at Wembley in front of more than 200,000 fans. The match placed football as the national game… though its hero lies in an unmarked grave

In a quiet corner of Streatham Park Cemetery, 15 miles south of Wembley and a long way from Bolton, you can find the final resting place of David Bone Nightingale Jack.

Only you won’t find it. Not easily anyway. Because David Jack is buried with his wife Kathleen, who also died in 1958 at the age of 60, in an unmarked grave. A plain patch of grass that offers not the slightest clue about the man whose remains are buried there.

The man who scored the first ever goal at Wembley in the legendary ‘White Horse’ FA Cup final between Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United 100 years ago next month.
