Chesham, Hitchen, Kettering you have given me so much fun over the years

Mansfield top of my list still.....

[BS4 on Tour...]

....don't forget non league Darlington in 2010...

[BS4 on Tour...]

....still think Grimsby will get their revenge some day and The Grimsby Telegraph will publish a 27 page supplement giving 'em loads, just as Dopey 'Happy Days' Darrell so deserves....

The best of them all being Mansfield in may 2014.

...pretty sure the thread was about non league teams beating 'em though.

But, as you said, the Mansfield result was superbly hilarious...!

The tread was just me revelling in the Blue Few's Lowlights over the years

AND HAYES !

[Red Skin]

It's Hitchin.   My home town and I was there.   Celebrated down the Hermitage in Hitchin watching Desmond Dekker.  I was the only one there singing 'Ooo, ooo, the gas are shite' along to the Israelites.

I used to live in a flat over Freeman, Hardy and Willis in Market Square !

[allyolly]

Surely BCFC beating the gas is the most fun?

Honourable mentions of course to all the other teams....

[Ian M]

I'm struggling to think of an example of us losing to a non league team in the Cup. I know Tony Thorpe saved our bacon (against Kingstonian?) one year with an injury time equaliser before winning the replay. 

 

[Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan]

St Albans ran us pretty close didn't they?

[handsofclay]

Since we joined the football league in 1901 we have never been beaten by a non league side in the FA Cup. I do wonder if we have the best record amongst league clubs for beating non league in terms of perhaps having the most encounters and not having ever lost to any of them.

[Septic Peg]

Not forgetting Wycombe and 'that lightning strike'...

What a day that was!

Straight down the pub after the match, and didn't get back home til 3am.

The Herm has changed a bit now though!

Wasn't it Boston or Barnet?

It began with B, which doesn't narrow it down that much

Defo Boston

Probably wrong but I thought it was their nemesis club, Wycombe.

We must have the record I should think - and the gas must be very close to the worst I reckon.

Also remember that, in those early days, there were some seriously good Southern League clubs - like Spurs, who actually won the FA Cup in 1900 and 1901.

It's been giving for so many years - shame if they were to disappear, really

[City fan 1982]

i have got a soft spot for wycombe and northampton as well !!

[Offside]

I remember Port Vale being quite popular after beating the blue few in the play offs in the late 80s - I think Robbie Earle got the goal. Of course that pales into insignificance compared to what other teams already mentioned in this thread have done to them in their recent glory years. Mansfield particularly are now forgiven for beating us at Wembley.
