It's nearly 20 years since we had a new winner of The FA Cup.

Lawrie Sanchez's header and Dave Beasant's penalty save helped underdogs Wimbledon to beat Liverpool in the 1988 Final and the Dons became the 42nd different club to lift the trophy.

Since that year only six clubs have won The Cup and they had all won it before.

The last 18 competitions have been won by Arsenal (5), Manchester United (5), Liverpool (4), Chelsea (2), Everton (1) and Tottenham Hotspur (1).

Intriguingly there are three sides left in this season's competition who have not yet had their name inscribed on the trophy.

Two of them, Plymouth Argyle and Watford, play each other in the Sixth Round on Sunday - so we know that one of those will be just one win away from the Final. Watford were Finalists in 1984, the year in which they knocked Plymouth out in the Semi-Finals.

The other is Middlesbrough, finalists ten years ago, who face a home tie with Manchester United on Saturday.

Ipswich Town were the 40th new winners of The Cup and Coventry City the 41st. Will we have another first-time winner, the 43rd in history, this year?

Do you remember who Wimbledon played in the rounds prior to the 1988 Final? The Dons beat West Brom in the Third Round before overcoming Mansfield, Newcastle, Watford and Luton en route to their Wembley date. Click here to see our FA Cup Archive.
