The Road to Wembley takes in Rochdale's classic upset

Monday 06 Jan 2014
TheFA.com's Gary Stonehouse was at Spotland for Rochdale v Leeds United

The Road to Wembley had its most exciting stop yet as our cameras witnessed Rochdale upset the odds against Leeds United.

The Dale recorded the famous 2-0 Third Round victory thanks to goals from Scott Hogan and Ian Henderson - and our cameras were at Spotland to take an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the day.

With several matches falling victim to the weather on Saturday, Gary Stonehouse spoke with groundsman Oli Makin on his preparation for the match as well as getting amongst the fans in the stand in the build-up to kick-off.

Goalscorer Ian Henderson and manager Keith Hill also stop to give their reaction to an unbelievable afternoon of FA Cup drama.

Also, look out for the appearance of a Rochdale legend, kit man Jack Northover. A supporter all his life, he has been in his current role for over a decade, and his dance of joy at the full-time whistle proves the magic of the cup is still alive and well.

Rochdale will receive £67,500 from the FA Cup prize fund for their Third Round victory.
