A heavy Goodison Park pitch proved to be United's undoing, Jimmy Settle netting from close range early on for the Toffees.

Jock Peddie then headed home a left wing cross from Jack Fraser to level, before John Proudfoot shot past Matt Kingsley.

The same player repeated the feat to give Everton a 3-1 lead before United reduced the arrears just before the interval - Fraser converting a penalty awarded after he was brought down by George Eccles.

There was no further addition to the score in the second half, with The Liverpool Mercury reporter observing that the referee "stopped the game in order to remonstrate with a section of the crowd."

A low-key beginning to an FA Cup campaign that would end in Wembley trophy success.

United swept aside the Shakers with a four goal salvo in eight first half minutes, despite surface water lying on the pitch.

1951 While United's first XI were progressing in the FA Cup, the reserves were in action at Goodison Park.

However, they went down 0-4, two weeks after losing a First Division fixture 1-3 at the same venue.

Team: Lowery, Duncan, Batty, Sands, Smith, Bromley, Hughes, Middleton, Lackenby, Black, King.

Bly(74)
In only their second season of league football, the Posh prevailed at a misty SJP, with centre forward Terry Bly getting the late winner. 

He later described the goal thus:

"It was a mis-kick, to be honest. I kicked the ground as much as the ball but there was a hard frost and, when keeper (Dave Hollins) dived, the ball bounced over his hand and rolled in. It stopped about a foot after the line."

Kevin Keegan's dream FA Cup draw proved to be a defining moment in his playing career, as Liverpool's Mark Lawrenson caught and dispossessed him despite giving KK a two-yard head start.

That incident was cited as the moment when Keegan decided to retire at the end of that season - a decision he was reveal in public on his 33rd birthday in February 1984. 

Played on a Friday night and televised live by the BBC, this tie is remembered for the superb support offered by 12,000 travelling Geordies, despite the mismatch on the field. 

This was immortalised on Match of the Day's opening titles, with a shot of 'Reds keeper, Bruce Grobbelaar, conducting the away end.

Sweet revenge for Magpies midfielder Gary Megson on his return to the City Ground. 

The midfielder had been bought by Brian Clough, who decided that he "couldn't trap a medicine ball" and refused to pick him for the first team. United then signed him.  

Despite being played on a Sunday, the game wasn't televised, having been delayed by 24 hours to allow the pitch to improve.

1992 United sent a side to the Federation Park home of local league side Dunston Federation Brewery, to inaugurate new floodlights. 

A young reserves XI included a three man veteran back line of Ossie Ardiles, Tony Galvin and Derek Fazackerley. David Robinson scored in a 2-1 loss. 

The highlight was a one-woman protest about the new lights by a neighbour, who stood in her garden and yelled abuse at the 500-strong crowd, who were most amused.

1993 Newcastle Reserves beat Alnwick Town 10-0 in a Northumberland Senior Cup tie, Alan Thompson and Steve Watson both hitting hat-tricks. Andy Hunt added two, Darren McDonough one and Belisle notched an OG.

2003 The reserve league game against Everton was called off after bad weather made the Gateshead Stadium pitch unplayable. So no change there then...

2005 Tommy Craig's Reserves took a point from their first visit to Damson Park, home of non-league Solihull Borough and on this occasion, Birmingham City reserves.

0-1 down half time, Guy Bates levelled for United but the main story for the media present was the non-performance of City's want-away midfielder Robbie Savage.

The doom mongers didn't get the hoped-for result but the performance at the Britannia Stadium was one of the worst under Sam Allardyce.

Only woeful displays at Derby, Wigan and Fulham rivalled this inept showing in front of the BBC cameras, as United stayed in the FA Cup by the skin of their teeth.

2011 Newcastle's FA Youth Cup campaign began with a 6-2 Third Round victory at non-league Dulwich Hamlet.

An own goal and a brace from Alexander Isak gave United a comfortable victory at the stadium of plight.

Redecorating parts of their ground in our honour, the hosts were equally generous on the pitch; netting an own goal, losing possession in their box for the second and conceding a stupid penalty for the third.
