Burnley's Lee Roche celebrates after seeing Liverpool's Djimi Traore score an own goal in The FA Cup.

This weekend sees The FA Cup Third Round Proper kick-off and to get you in the mood, we take a look back at some classic ties and goals from down the years.

Whether it's Ronnie Radford's screamer for Hereford United in their Third Round replay with Newcastle United in 1972 or Djimi Traore's comical own-goal which saw Burnley beat Liverpool on a rainy night in 2005, you can watch our collection of Cup classics in the video player above.

How about Harry Redknapp masterminding a 2-0 win over Manchester United for AFC Bournemouth at Dean Court in 1984?

And Coventry City were FA Cup holders when they travelled to face non-League Sutton United in 1989 and what followed was one of the biggest shocks in Cup history as they fell to a 2-1 defeat.

The full list of games featured in the video are: AFC Bournemouth 2-0 Manchester United, Burnley 1-0 Liverpool, Sutton United 2-1 Coventry City, Manchester United 0-1 Leeds United, Shrewsbury Town 2-1 Everton, Arsenal 1-0 Leeds United, Wrexham 2-1 Arsenal, Hereford United 2-1 Newcastle United, Liverpool 8-0 Swansea City, Stevenage 3-1 Newcastle United.
