I'm reading a book on the FA Cup. Sunderland won the cup in 1973. They were lucky to get past Notts County in Round 3. Notts lead 1-0 at Meadow Lane, thanks to a Les Bradd goal in the 29th minute. Sunderland levelled it on 79 mins but even they will admit that Notts were the better team and should have won the game. Notts lost the replay 2-0 at Roker Park but were in the game right up to the last minute. Match report below. 

I wonder how many times Notts have been knocked out by the eventual winners?

Spurs in 1991 and Manchester City in 2011 spring to mind. There's bound to have been more though...

Did you ever find out the answer to this @Dripsey3?

Hey Chris. I found one more. Everton beat Notts in the quarter finals in 1984 and went on the beat Watford 2-0 in the final. I know there are more, it's something I'll look into when I have time. 

i would not be able to answer this myself but i think its a cool piece of nostalgia. i would be interested in reading your final findings @Dripsey3
