It was a time when the impossible seemed within reach, when the roar of the crowd echoed the beating hearts of those who dared to dream.
Cast your mind back to January 1994, when the footballing world held its breath as the unassuming Barnet FC faced off against the mighty Chelsea in the prestigious FA Cup.
As the Emirates FA Cup reaches its penultimate stage, football fans around the country are eagerly awaiting the semi-final draw. The excitement is palpable, with the remaining teams just two victories away from lifting the prestigious trophy at Wembley Stadium.
The draw, which will determine the semi-final matchups, is scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 17th, live on ITV1. Viewers can also catch the action via the official Emirates FA Cup social media channels, where Mark Pougatch will host the proceedings, with former Cup winner Ian Wright making the all-important draw.
As the excitement builds for the FA Cup quarter-final clash between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Coventry City, the underdogs from the Championship are well aware of the monumental task that lies ahead. Despite the daunting prospect of facing a Premier League side, Coventry City manager Mark Robins remains optimistic and determined to seize the opportunity to book a coveted spot at Wembley.
Robins, who tasted FA Cup glory as a player with Manchester United in 1990, understands the magnitude of the challenge his team faces.
