3RD ROUND GIANT KILLERS!

1971-72: Hereford 2 Newcastle 1

‘What a goal! Oh what a goal!’ screamed John Motson as Ronnie Radford wheeled away after scoring a thunderbolt on an Edgar Street mudbath to create FA Cup history. Radford’s goal was the memorable moment but it was actually Ricky George who scored the winner for the Southern League side.

1985-86: Birmingham 1 Altrincham 2

Not even future England keeper David Seaman could keep Alliance Premier giant slayers Altrincham at bay at a near-empty St Andrews. So embarrassed were the Blues that they fired boss Ron Saunders two days later.

1988-89: Sutton 2 Coventry 1

Just 19 months after Coventry had won the FA Cup, they came crashing to earth at Gander Green Lane. Matt Hanlan was the hero with the 59th-minute winner for the Conference club.
