In this photo print, we are transported back to the historic FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round Fifth Replay match at Villa Park on November 22nd, 1971. The intense battle between Alvechurch and Oxford City resulted in a nail-biting victory for Alvechurch with a score of 1-0. The image captures the moment of both celebration and disappointment as the exhausted players leave the pitch. Oxford manager John Fisher can be seen extending his hand towards Alvechurch's Kevin Palmer, acknowledging their hard-fought win with a sincere "Well done". It is evident that despite his team's defeat, Fisher displays sportsmanship and respect for their opponents. What makes this match truly remarkable is its record-breaking length. This marathon Cup tie lasted over 11 hours and spanned across six matches, making it the longest cup tie in FA Cup history. The dedication and endurance showcased by both teams throughout this grueling series of games is awe-inspiring. This photograph not only encapsulates the action-packed atmosphere of football in the 1970s but also portrays emotions ranging from elation to despair. It serves as a testament to the passion and resilience exhibited by these athletes who left everything on the pitch during this unforgettable encounter.
