Our Five All Time Great Fa Cup Legends!


City Exile

Recommended Posts

Well Tinnion yes - but I'm sure we can add some to the list.

How about Ayteo himself who got five in one game in 1960? Or the great win at Leeds in 1974 - even more of an upset than the Liverpool game - 5th round replay - against the team that one the title that year. Keith Fear? Donnie Gillies? Would be like us winning away at Chelsea now.

Surely in a hundred years or so, we can add a few names to Tinnion as cup heroes?
