    Current top FA Cup goalscorer

    You may or may not be aware that the current top goalscorer in the FA Cup is Harry Cursham, Notts County, with 48 official FA Cup goals. Ian Rush, Liverpool, is second with 44 goals.
    From Google:-
    "Henry "Harry" Cursham, of Notts County, scored 48 goals in the FA Cup proper between 1877 and 1887, a record that still stands. Cursham, who also played two first-class cricket matches for Nottinghamshire, recorded seven FA Cup hat-tricks.
    Much more about Harry and his family on the internet and on Wikipedia, which tells us that he is also County's unofficial top scorer with 208 goals. His brothers Charles and Arthur also played for County. A remarkable sporting family from Wilford. Why haven't we heard more about them?
    Notts County, truly a club with history.

    Good research Lordpie. It's things like this that should be somewhere around Meadow Lane (if not already) to show our rich history. I had no idea who this person was either.

    His relative Ed Cursham is a solicitor at Fraser Brown in Nottingham. He has his picture on his office wall.
