The FA Cup Third Round Proper
Saturday 07 January 2006 3pm
Winning clubs will receive £40,000
The Draw will be made at Soho Square on Sunday 4 December at 3pm and it will be covered live on the BBC, Sky Sports and Radio Five Live.

The numbers of the balls are in for The Third Round draw - the most eagerly anticipated of the competition.

The Third Round, the stage where the Premiership clubs come into The FA Cup, is always the source of much excitement and listening to David Davies announcing a potential banana skin for a top side from Soho Square is part of the romance of The Third Round.

Supporters of Non-League sides will no doubt be on the lookout for a plum draw.

They should keep their eyes peeled for last year's winners Arsenal, who are number one, Premiership champions Chelsea, number ten or record FA Cup winners Manchester United, who are 24.

Other Premiership clubs with FA Cup history include Liverpool, number 21 and Tottenham, who are number 39.

The most famous giant-killers of them all - Yeovil - will be number 45 should they overcome Walsall, the winner of Burton Albion and Burscough is 47 while another Non-League tie, featuring Nuneaton Borough and Histon, will be 58 in The Third Round Draw.

Former Chelsea forward Peter Osgood, who scored in every round of The FA Cup in 1970, and Jim Montgomerie, whose goalkeeping heroics helped Sunderland lift the trophy three years later, will be drawing the balls.
