The FA Cup is the oldest football tournament in the world. It has been contested on and off from 1872 and has been won by 43 different teams; the most successful being Arsenal with 14 triumphs. Manchester United have won it 12 times; Chelsea are seeking a ninth win on Saturday while London neighbours, Tottenham, have also won it eight times.
A football competition steeped in so much history has had its fair share of Nigerian flavour and the most memorable must be Daniel Amokachi’s self-introduction in the semi-final of the tournament in 1995.The date was April 9, 1995, and ‘Da Bull’ was a substitute as Everton went up against Tottenham at Elland Road but in quite absurd circumstances, the Nigerian subbed himself into the action when Paul Rideout was still receiving treatment pitch-side.
