The competition closes on Saturday, 30th May at 9am GMT +1 time, London, UK.
The winner will be informed via email on Monday, 1st June.
Here’s a closer look at what the potential prize winner can claim.
Shirt of the ‘Five Minute Final’ and the one worn by Brian Talbot and Frank Stapleton as they scored against Manchester United in a hard fought 1979 FA Cup Final. It was Alan Sunderland’s last gasp goal that gained Arsenal their 3-2 victory in their second of three consecutive FA Cup Final appearances.
The 1957 FA Cup Final was only a few minutes in when Villa’s Northern Irish frontman Peter McParland clattered into Manchester United ‘keeper Ray Wood. This caused Wood a broken jaw and concussion but remarkably he re-entered the field as an outfield player in the pre-substitute days. McParland remained on the pitch and became the hero scoring both goals in Aston Villa’s 2-1 win. A late consolation from United centre forward Tommy Taylor was just that as the Villans held on to win their 7th (and most recent) FA Cup.
