10 FA Cup quarter-finals Reds will never forget

1957/58
WEST BROMWICH ALBION 2 UNITED 2 | UNITED 1 WEST BROMWICH ALBION 0

The Reds’ famous victory over Sheffield Wednesday, achieved only 13 days after the Munich Air Disaster, booked a last-eight showdown with a West Brom side who, either side of the Cup tie, recorded a home and away league double at United’s expense.

With Bobby Charlton making his return, Ernie Taylor broke the deadlock within five minutes. The hosts quickly drew level through Ronnie Allen, Alex Dawson then restored United’s lead but, two minutes from time, Roy Horobin equalised to force a replay at Old Trafford just four days later.
