The essence of the FA Cup is the prospect of non-league minnows fighting against the odds for a brief moment of glory. It is the first time in 48 years since a Cornish team has made it to the FA Cup proper. However, we must not forget that Charlton won the FA Cup in 1947, beating Burnley 1-0. This remains the only time a hat-trick has been scored in an FA Cup final at Wembley. One of the biggest FA Cup final shocks occurred in 1988 when unfancied Wimbledon FC upset overwhelming favourites Liverpool 1-0.
