iv) did canines emulate Godwinson at the second attempt?

Godwinson = Harold, Battle of Stamford Bridge = Chelsea's ground, but not necessarily Chelsea playing. Luckily for us, the final was only held there three times.

1921–22 Huddersfield Town 1–0 Preston North End Stamford Bridge

Huddersfield are nicknamed The Terriers.
