    I've been lucky enough to commentate on a number of upsets over the years - Kevin Ratcliffe's Shrewsbury knocking out Everton at Gay Meadow takes some beating.

    But I have to pick out last season's Fourth Round Saturday when I was reporting for 5 live at The Etihad Stadium; while my eyes were watching Middlesbrough knock out Manchester City, my ears were listening to Bradford City producing that most extraordinary upset at Stamford Bridge. 

    The commentary from Alistair Bruce-Ball and Nigel Spackman on Bradford's fourth goal was a brilliant piece of radio. And it was one of the most memorable afternoon's I've experienced in the whole time I've been doing this job.

    January 2013. Thousands of Coventry City fans travelled to White Hart Lane hoping history would repeat itself. The 1987 final - Tottenham 2 Coventry 3 - etched on their minds.

    Within half an hour, though, their hopes were in tatters: two goals from Clint Dempsey and one from Gareth Bale blew the Sky Blues away. Bale, that day, was unplayable. 

    But the Coventry fans stayed. They sang, they cheered and they did their club proud.

    Gotcha, Liverpool!published at 18:18

    Exeter v Liverpool (Fri, 19:55 GMT)

    Edmonds alert! Exeter fan and Deal or no Deal host Noel Edmonds is fully confident ahead of the Grecians’ cup tie with Liverpool.

    He classes Jurgen Klopp’s side as the underdogs and warns them of the ‘embarrassment’ if Exeter were to win the tie.

    This is going to cause problems at Crinkley Bottom. Mr Blobby is a massive Reds fan.

    Alan Smith was sent off and Scott Young scored the late winner that saw third-tier Cardiff City knockout Premier League leaders Leeds United in 2002.

    At the end, there were fans on the pitch; also police on the pitch with their horses and dogs.

    Back stage my BBC colleague Jonathan Overend had his recording equipment confiscated by Cardiff owner Sam Hammam. I went to ask for it back but was escorted away by a minder, not before witnessing a car-park bust-up between Hammam and Leeds manager David O'Leary

    The verbals were flying before Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale calmed the situation. Leeds United were never the same again. 

    That 2-1 defeat in January 2002 was the beginning of their demise. "Could I go back to the ground the day after and report on the fall-out from the crowd disturbances">
