The oldest surviving FA Cup could fetch £900,000 at auction. The two-handled silver trophy was in use from 1896 until 1910. Managing director of Bonhams’ Knightsbridge Jon Baddeley said: “We are very proud to have been entrusted with the sale of this legendary cup. It embodies so much of the early history of our national game that it can, without exaggeration, be described as a national treasure. “I anticipate a great deal of interest in the trophy.”It will go under the hammer at Bonhams on Tuesday September 29.
