Description

With England beleaguered by the wintry weather, non-league Blyth Spartans made two abortive trips to Stoke's Victoria Ground to get their FA Cup game played. Eventually, it was third time lucky as the collection of coalminers, sales reps and schoolteachers sprung one of the competition’s greatest ever shocks.

Let Steven Scragg, Bill Hern and Dave Bowler take you back to the days when FA Cup ties were all about blood, thunder and all the bedroom furniture you could eat.
