History
Between 1961–62 and 1984–85 seasons the final was played as a two-leg match, originally on a points basis rather than aggregate score. In the 1985–86 season it reverted to a single game, to be decided by extra time and penalties as necessary.
The last English winner of the Welsh Cup was Hereford United in 1990.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
