BTW have you not got it the wrong way round I thought it was the Scots who moved to Kettering/Corby

My family did indeed move to Corby in the 70's as my dad went to work in the steel industry and play for Corby Town (amongst others in the area).

I was born in Kettering but we emigrated to Scotland in 1980.

But they were on v Notts County in an earlier round.

A bit irrelevant that though. The game v Fulham was the kind of tie that the FA Cup is all about and the 2-4 scoreline that resulted from the game (courtesy of two late Fulham goals) suggested that the game would have been a feast for the tv and the viewers.

There was very nearly a giant killing in the game and with the stature of the FA Cup diminishing year on year, the need for a major giant-killing is needed more and more.

It also gave the chance to show that there is life outside the Premier League too.

Sadly, Man U v Spurs was one of the games chosen IIRC, giving us another all Prem tie that is hardly gonna raise too many eyebrows.

Ok I admit you should have been on if that was an alternative (could not remember what games were shown in that round).
