* A club can win the FA Cup in six matches. When Doncaster had played six FA Cup matches in 1954/55 - and remained unbeaten in ties played at Maine Road, the Hawthorns and Hillsborough - they weren't celebrating a Wembley appearance but just the achievement of getting through the 4th Round! Their FA Cup 4th Round tie against Aston Villa proved to be a bit of a saga - the second replay was played at Maine Road, Manchester City FC; the third replay at Hillsborough, Sheffield Wednesday FC and the 4th replay at the Hawthorns, West Bromwich Albion FC. The match at Hillsborough was abandoned at the end of 90 minutes - extra time would normally have been played - because of bad light. So that was 5 matches, eight and a half hours play in front of 103,439 fans. Four days after finally getting past Villa they played Birmingham City in the 5th Round - and lost at the first attempt!
