There is something about the FA Cup that seemed to bring out the best in Sheffield United during the 1990s, with many memorable moments and matches at Bramall Lane.

One of the best was the 1993 FA Cup quarter-final against moneybags Blackburn, which saw United progress on penalties and set up a semi-final clash with city rivals Wednesday.
