In the last 137 seasons, only one other football league club has been disqualified from the 'proper' rounds of the FA Cup for fielding an ineligible player. That club was Bury in the 06/07 season in a second round replay.

It kind of puts it into perspective what a monumental feck up this well and truly is.

Dozens of Non league clubs have fallen foul of this since the competition began. Perhaps that's understandable because they weren't professional outfits........ Al say no more
