So the suits at the FA did the dirty on their own competition. Why am I not surprised? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It was a good honest giant killing by Scunthorpe in front of 38,000 when the FA cup meant something and no question of fielding a weakened team. Kevin Keegan was in the Scunthorpe side.

Kevin Keegan was in the Scunthorpe side. The Owls were in the old first division then (1970) but not for long as they were relegated that season. The Iron's got knocked out in the next round by Swindon. Edited January 6, 2019 by St Petre add Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
