Sutton

Sutton beat Coventry, third round, 1989 - Just 19 months previously, Coventry had won the Cup at Wembley. Success that day had prompted their manager, John Sillett, to insist the club would now be shopping at Harrods.

 After this defeat, they would be lucky to buy anything at Poundland. With their evocatively named Gander Green Lane Stadium rocking, Sutton, then in the Conference, put out their first division opponents with an accomplished ease. 2-1 they won, with goals from skipper Tony Rains and Matthew Hanlan sandwiching a strike by Coventry's David Phillips.
