On this day in 1908 ! Imagine the meltdown !!! Southern League Norwich City best the 1907 FA Cup winners - 1st Division Wednesday ! From Heroes to zeros ! (as they say) Th Those pesky moulded soles !

A very enjoyable day at the office ! As such - We looked like world beaters.

Wonder if he would have left with 10 minutes to go at 0-0 if a message had come over the tannoy that his wife had gone into labour???

Fa Cup Round 2 17 December 1977 Wigan Athletic lost 0-1

Well - we first enetered the FA Cup in 1880 as a non league team ourselves and didn't join a League until 1889 (the Alliance League) . The football league was founded in 1888 although the Wednesday wasn't alowed to join until 1892 - so yes we did lose to non league opposition. I am sure that's not what you meant tho

That's quite an away following !!!!!
