By

Harold Mayes

It's just over four years since I said that English football was meaning that the standard of levelling up in the wrong direction —

If ever the First Division was coming back to that of the lower ones. anything served to underline that statement it was the Cap results on January 6, for the list makes reading which must stamp the day as the most topsy-turvy one in the long history of knock-out tourney upsets.

Teams from Divisions II and III outnumber their senior rivals to the tune of one and a half to one, but that isn't been use they happened to have steered clear of the formidable opposition in the draw.

We thought that the giant-killing season had perhaps gone when not single non-League club reached the Third Round, but these efforts make those of the Yeovils and Colchesters look like small beer.
