It’s FA Cup Final time again on Saturday 17th March 2003 for Arsenal and Manchester United. Between 1871/1872 till 2001/2002 Manchester United have the highest number of wins, 10. Closely following them in second place with 8 wins are Arsenal. Manchester United and Arsenal tie for 1st place with the most number of appearances in a final, 15.
BBC Sport's Ray Stubbs and Mark Lawrenson have both played in the FA Cup, albeit at slightly different levels.
"The FA Cup has a life of its own every season," said Ray.
"Even though you know there will be shocks, giant killers and butchers, bakers and candlestick makers who become instant heroes, it's a story you never get bored of."
Happy memories - for both Mark and Ray - come in the form of the 1986 final between Liverpool and Everton. Lawrenson played for Liverpool in the final.
