Even those with an obsession of winning the FA Cup can slip up every once in a while.
January 3, 2010 saw Manchester United, then 12-time winners of the competition, fall foul of a major upset as they lost 1-0 at home to Leeds United. Languishing in the doldrums of League One at the time, the Whites marched over the Pennines, went toe-to-toe with one of their greatest rivals and won.
Jermaine Beckford's 19th-minute winner, conjured up as a result of a long ball over United's defence, marked a moment that those of a Leeds persuasion will never forget. United supporters meanwhile must be sick to the back teeth of hearing about it. But come FA Cup third round weekend there is often no escaping it. Beckford's goal will forever feature in the VT reels put together by the broadcasters to show the most iconic moments of the FA Cup's rich and colourful history.
