* After six matches clubs can be holding aloft the FA Cup. After six matches in the FA Cup in 1954/55 - including being unbeaten in matches at Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United - Stoke had been beaten in the Fourth Round! In those far-off days before penalty shoot-outs FA Cup ties took as many matches as were needed to decide a winner and against Bury in the Third Round in January 1955 Stoke played 5 matches and a total of 9 hours 22 minutes of football (a record for the competition proper) before beating their Second Division opponents. They were then beaten at the first attempt by Swansea in the 4th Round! For the record the Third Round replay at Stoke was abandoned during extra time (after 112 minutes) due to a snowstorm, the 2nd replay was played at Goodison Park, Everton FC, the third replay at Anfield, Liverpool FC, and the 4th replay at Old Trafford, Manchester United FC.
