As Paul Cee has gone awol, I checked to see if you were right. This is correct post-war, but there is also one (just) pre-war one, which you haven't got. The total number of defeats by non-league teams since Brighton were elected to the Football League is actually eight.

Given that this question has been running and [MENTION=12852]pauli cee[/MENTION] is absent, I'll use OP casting vote and award myself the question. So....

You've got the right country, the fixture being Airdrie and Stranraer.

Wrong guess though.

The year is 1963. If you were consciously alive then you will remember the chaos.

I may be cheating by jumping in here, but here's one that surprised me a little. Of all the Premier League era goalkeepers with 100 or more clean sheets, only three have a higher clean sheet % than Peter Schmeichel. Who are they?

Nope. It was Yeovil (1938).

32?

 

[Eeyore]

32?

Winner.

The correct answer is 33 postponements of the same match. So you are only one out.

This occurred in 1963. This FA Cup third round game eventually took place on the 11th March. Thankfully it didn't need a replay...
