42. Leeds shocked at “Slayer Road”, 1971
Another one of those games that has entered into Cup folklore. Colchester United, of the fourth division, with a team of veterans nicknamed “Grandads’ Army”, beat the hardnosed first division leaders 3-2 in the fifth round at Layer Road.

40. Eric and the seagulls, 1995
“When ze seagulls (sips water) follow ze trawler… it is because zey think sardines will be thrown into ze… sea. Thank you very much (leaves).” Eric Cantona’s post kung-fu kick press conference, surely the most bizarre in history; but this oblique dig at the press merely enhanced his legend.

36. The clown and Clough, 1973
Brian Clough, talking as a TV pundit, reckoned that Poland were sending in “a clown” to keep England at bay, but in front of the best atmosphere at Wembley since 1966, Jan Tomaszewski produced a marvellous performance to preserve the score at 1-1 despite huge England pressure, meaning that the winners in ’66 did not qualify for the 1974 World Cup finals.

29. Stokoe and Monty stun Leeds, 1973
The hat-wearing Bob Stokoe’s Sunderland became the first second-division side to win the Cup in 42 years by beating Leeds United 1-0. Stokoe famously ran on the pitch to embrace his goalkeeper, Jim Montgomery, and quite rightly, since “Monty” had made a sensational double save.

17. Eric Cantona tries kung fu, 1995
Sent off for kicking an opponent as Manchester United met Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, Cantona did not go quietly, reacting to abuse from spectators by lunging feet-first at a fan standing behind an advertising hoarding and punching him, causing a sensation. He was banned for nine months. Quelle folie!
