That was the day I learned about giant-killers.Or actually in Yeovil there's the Quicksilver Mail which has a framed copy of the programme from our shock cup defeat of way back (when losing at Yeovil was actually a shock) mounted on the wall along with other matches in their famous Cup run. The landlord's father played for Yeovil in those matches.
Was there, and all but cried on the way home.
Spent Sunday poring over the results looking for another league side bombed out by part timers.
No one.
None, that is until the Monday when Kettering beat Millwall in a replay.
I knew the other results so well started collecting all the programmes from November 16, 1963, plus replays.
I still have five to go.
Guess which one is ALWAYS available on Ebay and the like? Yup, the one hanging on the Quicksilver wall.
