The world's oldest national football competition will no longer feature replays from next season - meaning there will be less games for teams to provide the iconic moments that have made the tournament so special.

FA Cup replays will be scrapped next season as concerns grow about the impact an increasingly congested calendar could have on player welfare. The move might prove popular with many Premier League managers, but clubs in the lower divisions will miss out on payments that can come from playing a replay against those in the top flight.

Bergkamp could have sent Arsenal into the final after the north London side were awarded a penalty seconds before the end of normal time - only for Peter Schmeichel to make a dramatic save. In extra-time Giggs collected the ball in his own half before weaving through four Arsenal players and firing a shot past Gunners goalkeeper David Seaman. The Welshman's bare-chested celebration is perhaps even more iconic than the solo effort itself.
