I must admit I don't like having "at Wembley" in consecutive sentences at the beginning of the lead, but an alternative is not springing to mind. Will have a think on this one.
... both Arsenal and Sheffield United received byes into the third round of the FA Cup - the wording comes across as odd. I don't think you can receive a bye into something. Maybe "seeded directly into the third round"?
In the Pre-match section, you haven't mentioned what Sheffield Utd wore. It'd be notable by today's standards if they wore their red/white strip as one would think it'd clash....although it looks like what they are wearing from the images....
Can you give me a couple of days to try to source this properly - it hadn't crossed my mind before and now I'm rather confused as I can't work out why one of the teams wasn't in their away strip as they should have been introduced in 1921. I'll go back through the Times archive and see if I can turn up a mention of it.

Well I don't know why, but they both wore red and white shirts - I couldn't find a mention of it being unusual in the Times archive, and managed to add a reference from Toffs.com (a retro football shirt manufacturer).

Link "newsreel" or "newsreel companies" as I suspect younger readers will not be familiar with the term
I know what you mean - I only initially worked on this article because someone nominated Harry Hooper for a DYK and linked this article in the hook. When I clicked on it I found it was really stubby, so decided to expand it and well... I found a lot more information was avaliable than I was expecting.

I started going through the article only to realise partway that it was already being reviewed. I'll stay away from the review process, but I may as well list the nitpicks I noticed while I'm here.

Numbers are listed for the players in Match details, but images from the final (e.g.
[1]) appear to show that numbered shirts were not used.
As more than one major club takes the city's name, Sheffield United are seldom referred to simply as Sheffield. In this case, the existence of
Sheffield F.C. further complicates matters. United or even The Blades would be a more conventional short form. If there is any chance of ambiguity, like in the sentence a record crowd of 68,287 at Bramall Lane saw United defeat Leeds United, use the full name.
Drake and Bastin both scoring twice, and Bowden making it five. - This wording makes it sound like Bowden scored the fifth, but the source doesn't specify. This could do with either an additional source or some rewording.
Reworded it to "with a single goal from Bowden and two each from
Drake and Bastin" - it didn't have the "single" at first, but then it sounded like Bowden scored the first.

There's inconsistency in whether First Division and other leagues names are capitalised.
All nitpicks are good. Thanks for reminding me as I had noted that about using an abbreviated term for Sheffield United, the usual would be "United" and the context of the page would let us know it is this club not (for instance) Man U.

Comment The Match Report link is just a bare URL and there is no information/details of the linked article such as author/date/publisher etc - bare URLs should be avoided.

Unfortunately that's how template:footballbox works, it needs a bare url. I have however replaced the previous report on a private website with the report from the Daily Mirror.
