Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Q. Thinking of recent Cup upsets, when did the last non-League club score more than four goals against League opposition?
A. The most recent occasion was in November 1992 when Yeovil Town went to Torquay United for an FA Cup first round proper match and won 5-2. One of the most remarkable FA Cup results occurred in December 1955 when Derby County lost 6-1 to Boston United. Boston fielded six ex-Derby players that day.
A Football League team making a habit of humiliating defeats were Mansfield Town. They lost at home to Matlock Town 5-2 in the 1976-77 season and finished as Third Division champions. In 1967 they had lost away to Tow Law Town 5-1. - Bob Allen, Stafford
