Hmm, my thread got zapped. OK then.

66 and defo the biggest upset of my time

Mid table National League NORTH and 2-0 at 90 minutes. All Palace got was a consolation goal

Previous best for me was Ronnie Radfords strike, Ricky George with the winner v Newcastle in 1972 but Hereford were in the Southern League one division higher than Macclesfield
 
Biggest league placing difference overturn in football league history
117 places (the previous highest was 108 by Chase Town vs Port Vale)

I can thank the BBC comms for that one :LOL:

(Reposted after JackHarris DM'd me to say he accidentally nuked it :D )
 
Margate 1 Swansea 0 was considered a massive embarrassing shock back in the day, so this is off the scale. Given the ridiculous money in the PL, and involving the holders,this has to be the biggest shock ever.

The ones I remember that were huge at the time
Hereford 2 Newcastle 1
Colchester 3 Leeds 2
Sutton 2 Coventry 1
Sunderland 1 Leeds 0m(final)
Southampton 1 Man Utd 0 (final)
Swindon 3 Arsenal 1 (league cup final)

Well looks like they banked around a nice 120 thou or so for that and probably another 30 or 40 if they lose the next round

Players had better be given a belated xmas bonus out of that
Its crazy when you think that all of that bonus is probably not even as much as Guehi's weekly salary.
And thats just one player of their squad

Was there for that Margate humiliation.
