  • The FA Cup has provided fertile ground for many an upset by unfancied, and in many cases lower-division sides, in football's most famous cup competition.

The article from MSN discusses some of the most memorable upsets in the history of the FA Cup, England's oldest domestic knockout football competition. It highlights how the FA Cup is renowned for its "giant-killings," where lower league teams defeat higher-ranked opponents. Notable examples include Hereford United's victory over Newcastle United in 1972, where Ronnie Radford scored a famous long-range goal; Wrexham's win against Arsenal in 1992, which was one of the biggest shocks in the competition's history; and Bradford City's triumph over Chelsea in 2015, where they won on penalties after a 2-2 draw. The piece also touches on the magic of the FA Cup, where teams from the lower tiers of English football get the chance to compete against and sometimes defeat top-tier clubs, capturing the imagination of fans and showcasing the unpredictability of cup football.
