Hereford United - Giantkillers

Souvenir booklet published in 1972 after Hereford United's 10 match FA Cup run, featuring the famous win against Newcastle United and the eventual defeat to West Ham United after a replay.

The Newcastle result, a 2–1 extra time victory for Hereford, is notable for being the greatest shock of all time in the history of the FA Cup, as Hereford were the lowest-ranked non-league side to beat a top-flight opposition in English footballing history. It was the first time a non-league club had beaten a top-flight club in a competitive fixture since Yeovil Town's victory over Sunderland in 1949.
