Teams appearing in the FA Cup Final but never winning.
At first glance, you'd think that this list would be pretty short. However, there are a total of twelve teams which have played in the FA Cup Final but have never (yet) managed to win the trophy. First amongst equals is Leicester City which, having made it no less than 4 times to the final, is still without a win. Then Birmingham City and Queen's Park (from Scotland) have two appearances but no wins. Finally, there are nine teams:- Millwall; Middlesborough; Crystal Palace; Watford; Brighton & Hove Albion; Queens Park Rangers (not to be confused with Queens Park); Fulham; Luton Town and Bristol City with an appearance each, but not a single, solitary win.
