FA Cup Round Three goals (1989-90)

Action from 14 ties played on the FA Cup third round weekend of 6-7 January 1990. The weekend most famously sees arguably the turning point in Alex Ferguson's Manchester United reign with a vital 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest in the live Sunday game, coming after plenty of entertainment the day before. Includes wins for Northampton, West Brom, Brighton, Torquay and Reading over sides from a higher division, while Southampton pull off a tremendous away win in the all First Division tie at Spurs and Third Division Swansea earn a goalless draw against holders Liverpool (who will win the replay 8-0!). Other action included in this round-up sees Blackburn and Aston Villa play out an excellent 2-2 draw, Fourth Division Exeter almost beat First Division Norwich, Arsenal edge past Stoke, Glenn Roeder scores a stunner for Watford against Wigan, Rochdale end Whitley Bay's dream and Conference side Darlington draw at Cambridge.

The voice of lower league and FA Cup football...the late,great Tony Gubba. Great for the darts and winter Olympics too.

I agree with everything you've said there mate. Shame the way the game has gone today.

Amazing how much football has changed.Look how much of a big day the 3rd round of the FA cup was for every club and its supporters.Now all the big boys care about is the prem and champions league.In my opinion football has changed for the worst for many reasons.Greed and ticket prices for example.
