There was plenty to keep the big game hunters interested after a couple of lean years. That Crewe and Halifax went out to non-league opposition produced scarcely a flicker among the pundits. Nor did Altrincham beating Rochdale at home - a reversal of that result would have constituted more of an upset. Slough Town provided a genuine early headline by knocking out Millwall, while Northwich earned local bragging rights in the Cheshire footballers' wives belt by eliminating Chester. A new scourge of the lower divisions took a bow here. Telford United would reach the first round every year for the next ten years, and only once would they fail to make the second. Their victims this year were Wigan Athletic, finding their first season in Division Three hard work. They would not have enjoyed a non-league team meting out the treatment they had, until recently, been proud of handing out themselves. It was a wretched second round for Welsh teams. Cardiff were chasing promotion from Division Three (and achieved it), and a 2-0 half-time lead against Weymouth was about par. But complacency set in and Weymouth clawed a goal back, and then equalised twelve minutes from time. Panic took over and Weymouth completed a memorable comeback with Gerry Pearson's volleyed winner five minutes from the whistle.
