Adrian Heath was on target as Everton beat Tottenham 21 years ago.
An unusual year
By David Barber. Friday, 16 February 2007.
We're all looking forward to The FA Cup's Fifth Round ties at the weekend.
This season's Fifth Round is unlikely to match the one in 1986, which produced an unusual set of results.
Seven of the eight ties ended in a draw!
The results went like this:
Luton Town 2 Arsenal 2
York City 1 Liverpool 1
Derby County 1 Sheffield Wednesday 1
Southampton 0 Millwall 0
Watford 1 Bury 1
Peterborough United 2 Brighton & Hove Albion 2
West Ham United 1 Manchester United 1
Tottenham Hotspur 1 Everton 2
On that inconclusive weekend only Everton managed to book their place in the Sixth Round. Adrian Heath and Gary Lineker notched the goals that knocked out Spurs at White Hart Lane.
The Luton v Arsenal tie went to two replays, so 16 matches in all were required to establish the line-up for that year's quarter finals.
