Lincoln are the only non-league team to reach a post-war FA Cup quarter-final. They beat Premier League Burnley in the fifth round thanks to defender Sean Raggett’s late winner – having previously accounted for Championship pair Ipswich and Brighton. They eventually lost 5-0 to Arsenal.

Lincoln City made FA Cup history on Saturday, becoming the first non-league side to reach the FA Cup quarter-final since QPR in 1914. The last time a non-league side advanced to the semi-final the FA Cup was the 1911-12 season, when Swindon reached the last four.

Lincoln’s run to the quarterfinals remains the furthest a non-league side has gone in the competition in recent years. Alongside Lincoln’s run to the quarterfinals in 2016/17, there was another National League side that produced a memorable FA Cup journey. Sutton United overcame several sides in leagues above to reach the fifth round and set up a sensational home tie with eventual winners Arsenal.
