F.A. Cup

Exemptions followed the normal pattern, i.e. all First and Second Divisions exempt to third round, Third and Fourth Division clubs exempt to first round (along with four non-league clubs - Altrincham, Burton Albion, Kidderminster Harriers and Telford United), and twenty non-league clubs exempt to fourth qualifying round (Bath City, Bishop's Stortford, Bognor Regis Town, Boston Town, Caernarfon Town, Chelmsford City, Chorley, Dagenham, Dartford, Enfield, Farnborough Town, Frickley Athletic, Lincoln City, Maidstone United, Nuneaton Borough, Runcorn, Slough Town, V S Rugby, Wealdstone, Whitby Town)

The F.A. Cup is renowed for its "giant killings", shock results by lower ranked teams over their so-called superiors, but that is normally a phenomemon of the earlier rounds. In 1988 though, the Final itself was the scene of one of the biggest upsets. Wimbledon, eleven years earlier a non-league side and only in their second season ever in the top flight, beat four time European Champions Liverpool who were also looking for the League/Cup Double. The winning goal came from Lawrie Sanchez, with keeper Dave Beasant another hero for making the first ever save of a penalty kick in a F.A. Cup final from John Aldridge.
