"FA Cup medals rarely come onto the market, so we’re thrilled to offer this remarkable piece.

"We’ve had the pleasure of selling a few in the past, all achieving fantastic results."

The 1910 FA Cup final replay was a memorable event, with Newcastle United emerging victorious after a hard-fought match.

Despite heavy rain leaving the pitch waterlogged, a large and enthusiastic crowd still turned out, and some entered the pitch area before kickoff.

Mounted police had to intervene and restore order.

This medal is part of a legacy of valuable memorabilia from the 1910 FA Cup final.
