* After five FA Cup matches which included visits to Anfield, Goodison Park and Old Trafford you might think that Bury must have enjoyed a good cup in in 1954/55. In fact they started out in the Third Round, and were knocked out in the Third Round! In the days before penalty shoot-outs drawn matches were replayed as many as necessary to decide a winner and Bury's 3rd Round tie against Stoke City went to the fourth replay. In total they played 9 hours 22 minutes of football, a record for the competition proper. For the record the Third Round replay at Stoke was abandoned during extra time (after 112 minutes) due to a snowstorm, the 2nd replay was played at Goodison Park, Everton FC, the third replay at Anfield, Liverpool FC, and the 4th replay at Old Trafford, Manchester United FC.
