And Villa too.

That's right - took over from Sunderland. And haven't won shit since

You've got 6 between you - Preston, Sunderland, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United. One more to get and the most recent club to achieve it although still a long time ago.

Actually Everton 1969-70. Took them to 7, level with Man U, Liverpool & Arsenal. Yes, there was a 4 way tie until Arsenal won it in 1970-71 and then Liverpool took over in the 1970s

I'm pretty sure Beckenbauer did that double.

@Billy-Tell I’m here basking in the glory of beating Man U who were diabolical and we were a little bit better.
Have never forgiven them for the FA cup game in 2023 which had all sorts of ramifications for Fulham.
Would be lovely to think we could go further but Palace are looking good.
I have been kicked off the Fulham forum for life for calling some of them whingers. They were at it again today and even in victory they just grizzle about their own team as much as the opposition.

Bournemouth never been to a FA Cup Qtr.. (have now) so will take the win

The answer is Trevor Brooking - winning goal scorer of the 1980 FA cup.

Yes it is. It's a cute question.

Also it was a statistical oddity that Preston and Burnley had never met before in the FA Cup. In the 1950s, Leeds were drawn at home to Cardiff in the 3rd round three seasons in a row and all 3 of them finished 1-2.

My final effort for the day - which Scottish international goalkeeper once scored 4 in an international?

(His career was in the 1980s and 90s)
