Liverpool, having already won five league titles in their history, were in the Second Division in 1959 when they lost 2-1 to Worcester City of the Southern League. The best-known non-league giant-killing came in the 1971-72 FA Cup, when non-league Hereford United defeated First Division Newcastle United. Hereford were trailing 1-0 with less than seven minutes left in the Third Round Proper replay, when Hereford’s Ronnie Radford scored the equaliser – a goal still shown regularly when FA Cup fixtures are broadcast.
