The FA Cup Top 100 Greatest Moments - by Jim White

100. Burton hold Man Utd to a goalless draw, 2006 - Fourteenth in the Conference, Nigel Clough's Burton were said by their manager "not to have a prayer" before taking on Alex Ferguson's grand side. After 90 minutes on a bog of a pitch, they came close to a miracle. Even the late arrival of Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo could not find a winner for the visitors. Indeed, but for referee Howard Webb missing Gerard Pique's handball in the closing moments, the Staffordshire club's fans might have been hailing an astonishing win achieved via the penalty spot. As it was, several hundred United supporters applauded the home side off the pitch. For the replay at Old Trafford, Clough again said his team didn't have a prayer. And this time he was right: they lost 5-0.Picture: PA
