Anyone played in the FA Cup?

[The Cowboy]

Given that the FA Cup reaches down to some pretty low levels of football, just wondering whether anyone on here (or your relatives) have ever played in an actual FA Cup match, be in 15th preliminary round or whatever.

 

[Tramps_mate]

Yes.

I know at least one lad on here who has definately played in it. And 2 mates of mine have.

 

[Azzurri]

Aye loads of people.

Cousins, colleagues, Dad's mates etc. for teams like Marine, Vauxhall motors and Altrincham.

I haven't unfortunately, but I'm working on that.

Best of luck mate. Unless you are playing for that lot, in which case, I hope you fail miserably

I know someone who won it. As a player and a manager.

 

[Alan Whittle]

No, but on New Years Eve 1983, a Saturday, I played in a 0-0 draw in West Sussex League Div 5 (south) which was refereed by a woman who went on to be the first woman to ref an FA Cup tie proper a couple of years later. So there.

Me and my mates formed a team years ago and tried to, but we weren't allowed to enter because we didn't have floodlights. Discrimination against cheapskates that.

 

[Divver]

Me old fella apparently for bury st Edmunds when on national service

 

[peteblue]

Yes, played 3 rounds one year......crap really.......

 

[d34noj]

Yes. Was in the national news too.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

my grandfather played in it

 

[SimonB]

A little known fact, but Dave Whelan (now Wigan Chairman) broke his leg in an FA Cup Final.

 

[ilikecheese]

No...but I know a couple of lads who've played in the US Open Cup...our 'equivalent'.

Seem to remember getting knocked out by Poulton vics 18-2 in the early 70s.
