The date is 26th March 1955 and the venue Hillsborough, where modest third division club York City face the might of top-level giants Newcastle United in the FA Cup semi-final.
It's the 12th March 1955 and an FA Cup sixth round tie between Notts County and York City at a packed Meadow Lane.
York City have reached the FA Cup fifth round and were drawn to meet leading First Division club Tottenham Hotspur on 19th February 1955.
York City have fought their way into the FA Cup fourth round and faced non-league Bishop Auckland on 29th January 1955.
York City travelled to First Division glamour club Blackpool, who had won the FA Cup only eighteen months earlier after defeating local rivals Bolton Wanderers 4-3 in the legendary 'Matthews Final', in the FA Cup third round on 8th January 1955.
It's the 11th December 1954 and the second round of the FA Cup, with York City having a date at non-league minnows Dorchester Town.
