[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

Historic. The moment Macclesfield went 2-0 up against FA Cup holders Crystal Palace 🤯

[Football Tweet ⚽ @Footballtweet]

From liquidation in 2020 and a restart in the ninth tier, to rebirth as Macclesfield FC.

Now in the sixth tier, they’ve just knocked out FA Cup holders Crystal Palace in the third round, the biggest shock in the competition's history.

Their captain, Paul Dawson, quit his job as a supervisor on the motorway to pursue his football career at the club.

He scored a goal and won Man of the Match today.

From extinction to history-makers. One of the greatest FA Cup stories you’ll ever see. 💙

[The Away Fans @theawayfans]

Fair play to the Palace fans at Macclesfield today, they applauded the home side off after their famous upset against the holders.

They might not have got the result they came for, but that’s a touch of class by Palace fans!

👏

AGAINST ALL ODDS! 🤯

@thesilkmen HAVE KNOCKED OUT THE HOLDERS!

Is this the biggest upset in the history of the #EmiratesFACup?

Macclesfield have made history with a record which predates the widespread usage of electricity💡

That's right, it's hard to explain just how MASSIVE Macclesfield's win against holders Crystal Palace is.

In the FA Cup's 154-year history no team has ever beaten a team with a bigger gap in the football pyramid (117 places) than between Macclesfield and Palace.

The previous record was held by Chasetown after they knocked out Port Vale in 2007 (108 places).

Electrifying stuff ⚡️

1909 - Macclesfield are the first non-league team to eliminate the FA Cup holders since Crystal Palace knocked out Wolves in the 1908-09 first round. Fairytale.

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

THE GREATEST FA CUP SHOCK EVER? 🏆

Macclesfield, 117 league places below Crystal Palace, have done it!!!

[Football on TNT Sports @footballontnt]

After Macclesfield Town were liquidated due to debts in 2020, the club reformed as Macclesfield FC and had to restart in the ninth tier…

Now they’re in the sixth tier and have just knocked out FA Cup holders Crystal Palace in the third round.

The biggest upset in FA Cup history. What a comeback 💙

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of the great Hans Herrmann. A great friend to Goodwood, he was the last surviving F1 podium finisher of the 1950s and was part of a legendary Mercedes team. Herrmann was also an overall winner at Le Mans in 1970 in that famous Porsche 917K and achieved more than 80 overall victories across his career. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

We’re deeply saddened by the passing of the legendary Hans Herrmann

Hans raced for @MercedesBenz in F1 during 1954 and 1955, enjoying a glittering and varied motorsport career with wins at Le Mans and the Targa Florio

Forever an icon of the Silver Arrows. Rest in peace, Hans

501 Not Out

In 1994, @BrianLara achieved immortality when he reached a score of 501* in a first class innings for @WarwickshireCCC v Durham at Edgbaston.

Previous highest FC score in an innings was 499 by H Mohammad for Karachi in 1959

Worth noting that if Wolves and West Ham do both go down, then next season will be the first in its entire 137 year history that there will be no clubs beginning with W in the English top flight. (UNLESS, of course, Watford, Wrexham or West Brom go up.)

“the driver who joined mclaren when they were at the back. and when others came calling, when redbull came calling, he chose to stay loyal to the cause. to return the famous team to glory”
