Anyone remember the Trevor Brooking cock-up earlier this season, when he got his balls mixed up and the ties all came out wrong? Need to know when it was and what round he was drawing for...

Thanks in advance chaps :thumbsup:

From Wikipedia:

When conducting the draw for the 1st round proper of the FA Cup 2006-07, he appeared to read out King's Lynn twice. It was later evident that he had misheard the number and as a result, thought that King's Lynn had the home tie. As an act of courtesy, he attended the 1st round game, the final score of which was Bishop's Stortford 3 - 5 King's Lynn

I was watching it ENTHRALLED when he f***ed it up. I honestly thought they'd have to tip the balls back in and start again.
