Can you name all FA Cup finalists since 2008 that weren't the 'big six'?

The FA Cup’s third-round weekend has arrived, and while 32 clubs still harbour hopes of a Wembley appearance in May, history reminds us that the path to the final has become an increasingly gated affair. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham—the Premier League’s so-called big six—have collected 32 of the last 37 trophies.

Yet the competition’s recent history is not devoid of interlopers. Since 2008, ten different sides from outside that elite cohort have fought their way through to the final, proving that shocks, while rare, remain possible. The challenge for supporters: can every one of those surprise finalists be recalled?

The FA Cup, now in its 155th year, has built its reputation on romance and upsets, and the past decade-and-a-half has delivered just enough intrigue to keep the dream alive for the rest of the pyramid. Whether those ten hopefuls lifted the silverware or simply savoured the day beneath the arch, their presence on the final stage underscores the tournament’s enduring allure.
