Product information
THERE is nothing quite like a good old FA Cup upset to capture the minds of the British sporting public.
This special Daily Mirror supplement takes you through the wonderful stories of the biggest shocks.
Fourth Division Colchester beating Don Revie’s star-studded Leeds United side of the 1970s. What about the day Blyth Spartans, £7-a-week part-timers of the Northern League, stunned a top-flight Stoke side who had recently beaten Chelsea to lift the League Cup.
Who can forget the day little Sutton United beat a Coventry City team who had won the FA Cup just two years earlier at Wembley. Or Stevenage embarrassing Newcastle United, Woking winning at West Brom, or Altrincham becoming one of the first non-league sides to beat a top-flight team away from home when they toppled Birmingham City at St Andrew’s.
Sometimes the shocks happen in the final itself - Second Division Sunderland beating Leeds in 1973, Southampton doing the same to Manchester United three years on, Wimbledon’s Crazy Gang overcoming Liverpool’s Culture Club in 1988.
This special supplement celebrates these - and plenty more of the incredible moments which only the FA Cup can throw up.
