Remembering some of our great cup wins ( although not too many over the years ) against the likes of Chelsea, Newcastle, WBA, Notts Forest, Sunderland, Sheff Utd, QPR ( in 1986 ) etc , we were in a higher tier ( 2nd or 3rd tier I think ) for those games I notice that we are 62 league places below the current QPR team. Given that, and the fact that we were away from home, I wonder if, statistically speaking at least, last night was our best ever cup performance?

The one that sticks out in my memory was when we beat Man City at home in the League Cup when they had the likes of Colin Bell, Franny Lee, Mike Summerbee, Joe Corrigan. They were a top class side at the time.

We played so well and should have won by more. I actually thought we'd make it to Wembley but lost the second leg 4-1.

Dancingbear Offline Reserve Squad Posts: 584 Likes received: 282	It was a great result but id temper it by saying it was a reserve team we were playing as opposed to some of the ones in the past. In fact the commentators on the radio said Chesterfield were probably better than the QPR team last night.

Yeah, it was 0-0, we'd won the first leg 1-0. Think that was in 97, second Wembley visit. Can't remember without looking it up.

Don't know about best cup performance, but I really loved it when we beat Tranmere 1-0 in round 3 of the FA cup in 96/97. They were two divisions above us, and John Aldridge lost his rag and got sent off.

Happy days

We won 2-0 at home to Stockport; they were pretty useless in the return, we were helped massively by their ridiculous fixture backlog (think they got to the league cup semi-final that year) and the red card for one of their midfielders.

Aldridge went absolutely crackers at the lino in that Tranmere game. Very funny! He's still a CUFC hero though.

Probably the top performance, in my opinion was not a win. After knocking Sunderland (cup holders) out of the FA Cup at Roker, we went to Liverpool (League Champions). We drew 0-0 in front of 51,000.

Agree with you there, Bob Hatton hit the post when it was 0-0 in the away tie, if that had gone in we were well on our way. Denis Martin was in the WBA side and he had a cracking game against us. Signed for us not long after with George Mcvitie going the other way.

That Tranmere game is one of my all time favourites. Linesman wasn't going to do anything until everyone started shouting on the East Stand side that Aldridge had flagged the ref behind his back so said Linesman waved his flag,told the ref and he was off like a raging bull to applause from The Paddock. Tranmere were a very decent side at the time also.
