Top 10 greatest FA Cup shocks after Grimsby stun Southampton

Grimsby Town wrote their name into FA Cup folklore this week by pulling off a shock 1-0 victory over Premier League opposition Southampton to reach the quarterfinals of the competition for the first time since 1939.

The Mariners scored two penalties either side of half-time and survived a late disallowed equaliser to secure a famous fifth round win against a team 64 places above them on the league ladder.

The fourth-tier side also entered the FA Cup history books by becoming the first team in 152 years to knock out five teams from higher leagues in the same cup run, having also beaten Plymouth Argyle, Cambridge United, Burton Albion and Luton Town en route to the last eight.
