1991 Tottenham Hotspur 3 Arsenal 1

The first Semi-Final to be staged at Wembley turned out to be a match as enthralling as any Final.

Spurs, with huge debts, indifferent form and amid takeover talks, were given no chance against their deadly North London rivals. Arsenal won the 1991 League title at a canter, losing only one game all season.

They were on course for a second double, but within ten minutes it was all over.

Paul Gascoigne had not started a game for 11 weeks but Terry Venables’ gamble on his fitness paid off inside five minutes as he fired an unstoppable free-kick past David Seaman from 30 yards.

Five minutes later Spurs were 2-0 ahead as Gary Lineker poked the ball home, and although Alan Smith pulled one back for Arsenal on the stroke of half-time, Lineker scored again to send Spurs through to The Final, where they beat Nottingham Forest.

The last ever Semi-Final replay, will always be remembered for a moment of pure genius from Ryan Giggs, surely one of the greatest ever FA Cup goals.

David Beckham gave United the lead with a trademark free-kick, with Arsenal levelling through a deflected Dennis Bergkamp shot.

The Gunners looked to be the only winners when Keane was sent off, but Peter Schmeichel’s last minute penalty save from the Dutch international took the game in to extra-time.

Cue Giggs, and a mazy run from his own half rounded off with a fine left foot finish to send United to The Final and ultimately a historic treble.

1990 Crystal Palace 4 Liverpool 3 (aet)

Another Villa Park epic saw the underdogs Palace stun the mighty Liverpool with an extra-time winner from Alan Pardew.

The Eagles gained the ultimate revenge for 9-0 league thrashing at Anfield, stunning the reds in a 4-3 thriller.

Liverpool led 1-0 at half-time, thanks to an Ian Rush strike. But an amazing five goal frenzy in the second half, with goals from Bright, O’Reilly and Gray for Palace and McMahon and Barnes for the Merseysiders, brought extra-time.

Steve Coppell’s men sealed a remarkable victory with Pardew’s 109th minute header, taking Palace to their first ever Wembley Final, against Man. United.

1994 Manchester United 1 Oldham Athletic 1

A trademark Mark Hughes volley broke Oldham hearts with only 50 seconds of extra-time to play at Wembley.

Manchester United’s dreams of a League and FA Cup double appeared dead after Neil Pointon put Oldham ahead 16 minutes in to extra-time, when Peter Schmeichel dropped the ball.

With the referee checking his watch and the Oldham fans preparing to celebrate an unlikely victory, Hughes took centre stage.

Butt’s pass was flicked on by Brian McClair and as the ball looped over the United striker’s shoulder he stretched, to volley past Jon Hallworth, earning the Champions a replay, which they won 4-1.

1987 Tottenham Hotspur 4 Watford 1

"You should have stayed in your wine bar" was the harsh but true taunt sung by Tottenham’s fans at Gary Plumley, Watford’s stand-in goalkeeper after this one-sided Semi-Final.

Poor Plumley, who had been working part-time as a waiter in a Welsh wine bar, had been drafted in as emergency cover after regular keepers Tony Coton and Steve Sherwood were both injured.

Spurs were the country’s top attacking side, with a five-man midfield including Glenn Hoddle, Chris Waddle and Ossie Ardiles supplying the bullets for Clive Allen, who was to score a record 49 goals that season.

Within half-an-hour Spurs were 3-0 ahead, and although they eased up to finish 4-1 winners, it was a humiliation for Plumley in his one and only game for Watford.
