FA Cup final football

Exeter City striker Jayden Stockley, who is the clubs top goal scorer this season, is one of 137 names selected to form part of the Emirates FA Cup final match ball.

Jayden's three strikes in the second round proper over two legs against Forest Green Rovers earned him a place on the ball.

The goals were crucial to forcing a replay as Jayden headed in late to rescue a 3-3 draw. At St James Park Jayden netted the winner to set up a lucrative tie with Premier League West Bromwich Albion, where City's FA Cup adventure would come to an end.

Overall Jayden scored five times in the 2017/18 FA Cup competition, which puts him in third place in the top scorers list, level with the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Jack Marriott. 

The FA has placed the names of 137 goalscorers from this season’s competition on the Nike Ordem V, Cup Final ball to be used at the 137th edition of the showpiece fixture.

The Ball For All celebrates players from Step 6 of the National League system through to the Premier League, who all share the accolade of being a goalscorer in the world’s oldest domestic cup competition.

The names included represent goalscorers from every round, beginning at the Extra Preliminary Round through to the Semi Finals and also include a selection of the season’s most memorable and impactful strikes.
