The giant killer has died aged 79 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63489122

I imagine that, for others of a similar age to me, he was one of the first names to spring to mind when FA Cup giantkilling was discussed. And his goal was scored when balls were heavier and on a quagmire too.

So, here it is again:

There's some good action there but if you just want to see THAT goal, watch from a bit after 9 minutes.

For me it's the most iconic goal in the history of the Cup. The goal, the crowd packed in, the shock result.

And Newcastle took it on the chin, none of the modern day whining.

You only have to say "Ronnie Radford" and everyone knows what you are talking about.

RIP.

RIP Ronnie Radford
The game itself unbelievable and the singing at 10.10 kids dunno what football was all about then and the pitch incredible but what a match. What I call proper football the old way! Thanks for sharing.
