  "summary": "English football has a rich history of remarkable cup upsets, with lower-league and non-league clubs frequently shocking established giants. Here are ten unforgettable moments in the FA Cup and League Cup, as reported by various sources. Hereford United's 2-1 victory over Newcastle United in the 1972 FA Cup third-round replay remains one of the most iconic upsets, with Ronnie Radford's long-range equaliser and Ricky George's winner in extra time. Wrexham's 2-1 win over Arsenal in 1992, where Mickey Thomas scored a memorable free-kick and Steve Watkin sealed the result, is another unforgettable upset. Bradford City's 4-2 comeback against Chelsea in the 2015 FA Cup, including goals from Jon Stead, Filipe Morais, Andy Halliday, and Mark Yeates, is another classic example of an underdog triumph.",
