The Portsmouth team, managed by a man who is also and advisor to Central Coast Mariners, won the 2008 FA Cup by one point.
 This tournament was the 50th to be officially held since the six year suspension due to World War II. 
 Everton's Joe Royle would be the last English-born manager to lift the FA Cup until Harry Redknapp managed Portsmouth to the 2008 victory. 
 Redknapp is also an advisor to Central Coast Mariners and a director at Southern Football League club Wimborne Town.
