Millwall 1 Sunderland 0 (2004)The Wearsiders were looking to regain a little pride by reaching a Cup final after relegation the previous season but were far from their best in the semi-final at Old Trafford and paid the price as Millwall claimed a victory and a place in their first-ever FA Cup final . [LNB]Tim Cahill calmly side-footed home a loose ball after Paul Ifill's 26th-minute shot was parried to settle a tense tie between the two Championship teams and prove that the ground really was the Theatre of Dreams.[LNB] Lions' pride: Tim Cahill celebrates Millwall's semi-final winner at Old Trafford[LNB]19. Everton 4 Liverpool 4 (1991)Game of the decade: Liverpool's goal-scorers in the epic FA Cup tie with Everton - Ian Rush (right), Peter Beardsley (centre) and John Barnes (left)[LNB]Liverpool were favourites going into this fifth-round replay - they were in everything they did in that era - and had already beaten Everton in the League 3-1 that season. But no-one could have predicted the glut of goals and gaffes that gave us what was later christened the Game of the Decade.[LNB]The rush of goals started on the half-hour mark, the two sides exchanged strikes and the game was locked at 3-3 after 90 minutes, heading into extra time.[LNB]In the first extra period, John Barnes scored a wonder solo goal and must have thought he had won the tie but, moments later, Tony Cottee scored his second of the match, which ended 4-4.[LNB]However, the drama didn't end there, Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish resigned after the game with his team still top of the League and in with a chance of winning the Cup. [LNB]Everton won the replay 1-0 and Liverpool haven't quite been the same since. [LNB] 18. Manchester United 1 Everton 0 (1985)Everton were chasing a treble on this sunny May day but Ron Atkinson's United had already beaten Liverpool in a memorable semi-final and weren't about to roll over for Howard Kendall's side.[LNB]Referee Peter Willis had a big hand in the events - he sent off United's Kevin Moran after a crude challenge on Andy Gray but Everton couldn't take advantage of having the extra man. [LNB]A moment of FA Cup magic from Norman Whiteside sealed the victory in extra time with an exquisite curled finish from just inside the box and around the despairing dive of Neville Southall to win Big Ron's second and final trophy in his time at Old Trafford. [LNB] Pure joy: Ron Atkinson's Manchester United celebrate with the FA Cup trophy[LNB]17. Manchester United 0 Leeds 1 (2010)Leeds' fall from grace was well-documented - from Champions League semi-finalists to playing in the third tier of English football in the space of six years is a story as well known as their rivalry with Manchester United. [LNB]United, the 11-time winners, had not been knocked out of the third round since losing at Bournemouth in 1984 (see no 31) but the 9,000 travelling fans were sent in to raptures when Jermaine Beckford first outpaced Wes Brown then slid the ball at an angle under Edwin van Der Sar to win a tie they never looked like losing.[LNB]Leeds fans continue to hold to belief that football is cyclical, that their time will come once again, and what better way to announce your lofty ambitions than by beating your most famous rivals.[LNB] Take that: Jermaine Beckford (left) caps Leeds' return to the big stage[LNB]16. Chesterfield 3 Middlesbrough 3 (1997)Boro were heaving a huge sigh of relief as the Premier League outfit overcame a few scares to lead their FA Cup semi-final 3-2 against third-tier opposition with just moments left. But the final twist in this match at Old Trafford was still to come.[LNB]With just seconds remaining in extra time, Chris Beaumont lumped a ball into the Boro box and local lad Jamie Hewitt headed a 119th-minute equaliser. What joy! Until the replay, that is, which the Teesiders won comfortably 3-0.[LNB] Inspiredites: Chesterfield players celebrate the Spireites' equaliser[LNB]15. Blackpool 4 Bolton 3 (1953) This match between the two North West rivals will forever be known as the Matthews Final after an unforgettable performance from Blackpool's majestic outside right.[LNB]The Seasiders were trailing 3-2 with seconds left but a Stan Mortensen free-kick leveled matters and then deep into stoppage time a Matthews cross from the right wing was met by Bill Perry to win it for Blackpool.[LNB] Blackpool's rock: Stanley Matthews is carried aloft from the Wembley pitch along with his team captain Harry Johnson (holding the FA Cup trophy) after their win[LNB]14. Liverpool 0 Wimbledon 1 (1988)This was the culmination of the Crazy Gang's rise from the bottom of the football pyramid to overcoming the giants of domestic and European football in the world's most famous domestic club competition.[LNB]A tough game from the first whistle, Wimbledon, true to form, scrapped and battled for every ball. Captain Dave Beasant (right) became the first goalkeeper to save a penalty in a FA Cup final and, later that afternoon, the first keeper to lift the trophy after Lawrie Sanchez headed the winner against the league champions following a free-kick from Dennis Wise.[LNB]13. Chelsea 2 Leeds 1 (1970) After the 2-2 draw at Wembley 18 days previously, these two sides moved up to Old Trafford to try and decide the destination of the Cup, the first time since 1912 that a replay was needed.[LNB]Mick Jones opened the scoring for Leeds in the first half but Dave Sexton's team battled back - Peter Osgood equalised with a brilliantly taken diving header 12 minutes from time, before David Webb's winner in the first half of extra-time as Chelsea became FA Cup winners for the first time in their history.[LNB] Goal-mouth action: The 1970 FA Cup final replay between Chelsea and Leeds[LNB]12. West Brom 2 Woking 4 (1991)A tie that is synonymous with one name - Tim Buzaglo, the Gibraltar-born striker who scored a sensational hat-trick for non-league Woking against Second Division West Brom. [LNB]The Baggies led 1-0 when up stepped the 29-year-old Buzaglo to grab 15 minutes of fame with his second-half treble.[LNB]Substitute Terry Worsfold headed a fourth goal before a late Albion consolation and, in the fall-out after the humiliation, Albion boss Brian Talbot lost his job. Ouch.[LNB] Hat-trick hero: Woking's Tim Buzaglo (below) is mobbed by a team-mate[LNB]11. Wrexham 2 Arsenal 1 (1992)A no-contest on paper, the Gunners were the reigning league champions, Wrexham were bottom of the old fourth division. The game was going to form, George Graham's side taking the lead in the third-round tie at the Racecourse Ground through Alan Smith, until the 83rd minute that is. [LNB]Mickey Thomas then fired an unstoppable free-kick past David Seaman into the top-right corner from just outside the box for the equaliser and the Welsh side seized their opportunity when Steve Watkin popped up late on to score the winner and send the five-times winners crashing out.[LNB] Giant-killers: Wrexham celebrate their famous victory over Arsenal[LNB] [LNB][LNB] [LNB]The best of the rest of The ListSportsmail's top 50 golden oldies in British footballSportsmail's top 50 Premier League players of the decadeSportsmail's top 50 last-gasp goals in British footballSportsmail's top 50 footballers never to play at the World CupSportsmail's top 50 sporting feuds of all timeSportsmail's 50 great sports photographsSportsmail's top 50 commentators of all timeSportsmail's top 50 sporting venuesSportsmail's top 50 performers of the season so farSportsmail's top 50 all-time managers in BritainSportsmail's top 50 goal poachersSportsmail's top 50 footballing traitorsSportsmail's top 50 FA Cup heroesSportsmail's greatest Wembley finals in historySportsmail's top 50 biggest hitters in cricketSportsmail's top 50 British & Irish LionsSportsmail's top 50 Ashes heroes [LNB] Explore more:People:Kenny Dalglish, Paul Ifill, Tim Cahill, George Graham, John Barnes, Alan Smith, IAN RUSH, WES BROWN, David Seaman, Neville Southall, Lawrie SanchezPlaces:Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds
