Wimbledon's time at the top was to be short-lived. Three days after securing the Unofficial English Championship, an FA Cup 5th Round Replay brought Liverpool to Selhurst Park.
Liverpool's youngsters were getting all the coverage at this time but it was two veterans who would make the headlines.
First, John Barnes gave Liverpool the lead with a header in the 10th minute.
Then it was Ian Rush's moment. An instinctive poke from Barnes' cross and Rush made himself joint record goalscorer in the FA Cup.
Liverpool were the first team to collect a hat-trick of Unofficial English Championships.
