Back in the days when you were allowed to go to the pub me and my mate's could reel off the fa cup winners from 1970ish up until 2000 without any problem. After that it's a struggle and a joint effort to name the rest Seems like that with our mangers since 2000 - couldn't sleep last night and tried - real struggle. Anyone fancy trying it? checked this morning Glynn Hodges slipped my mind ...lol
I just tried from when I first stated watching us Johny Steele McSeveney (Steele again) - 70's 80's and 90's were easy - though I forgot John Hendrie! gets harder in the 2000's couldnt do all the caretakers
I dont think i could match the fa cup winner with the year since wimbledon. I havent the foggiest whos even won it in the last 10 years

It got more difficult when Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City re-emerged as forces. The league cup is even more difficult for the same reason.
Definitely forgot some of them. Thanks for the list mate - years ago managers seem to be around for ever - not so much now
The early seasons were just as bad - Wanderers won 6 of the first 9. Everyone will forget Wigan in the past decade - or like me, just remember Wigan.
That's the one mate. It's coming back to me now. Then we went into the next game "manager less" because he packed it in on the Friday morning before the Peterboro game
We went on a bit of a run and flirted with the play-offs after that. I can remember travelling to Hull City and watching us lose and that ended any faint hope we had. Worst part was being locked in the ground for our safety afterwards listening to Tiger Man or something lol
Then when we didn't buy Chopra in the summer (for 500k was it) we thought we'd never go back up. Little did we know at the time that the following season we'd win the playoffs lol
