FA Cup Fifth Round - and Ian Rush likes milk! 17:56 - Feb 16 with 394 viewsdurham_exile

The following is from the Grauniad:

"" It’s the FA Cup fifth round! What a thing! Remarkable! It happens every year, but still! So let’s have a look at some fifth round ties of yore. Everyone still hates Leeds, despite them being in the scruffy divisions for ages, and that’s broadly because of the 1970s. Imagine the laughter, therefore, when they were riotously binned from the Cup in 1971 by Fourth Division Colchester. Sutton United and Lincoln City line-up this weekend, becoming the eighth and ninth non-league teams to make it this far. None have ever progressed further, but the closest were Blyth Spartans, who took Wrexham to a replay (held at St James’s Park) in 1978. Features some sensational 70s pitches, and added Barry Davies. If you were late to Manchester United’s replay against Reading in 2007, you might have missed the meat of it all, as United scored three times in the first six minutes. Do not fear though, because here’s the action for you to catch up on. Here’s Ronnie Rosenthal running riot for Tottenham against Southampton in 1995. Plenty to enjoy. But we save the best, or certainly most significant, for last: February 1991, Everton 4-4 Liverpool. A replay that defines the idea of a ‘ding-dong’ stramash, and one that was followed by the resignation of Kenny Dalglish. Ronnie Moran was in charge of the second replay, which Everton won 1-0 thanks to a Dave Watson goal."

How ironic that WE get a mention after the thread on this site this week.

Plus with Accrington Stanley in mind, Ian Rush likes drinking milk!!!! Exactly!!!!
