The FA Cup has been one of English's football's biggest prizes for over 150 years, going all the way back to its inaugural season in 1871/72.

Over that time, the competition has delivered no shortage of memorable moments, interesting trivia, record-holders, and everything in between.

So it would almost be negligent of us not to see just how much of that you've been able to squeeze into that little ol' brain of yours, wouldn't it?
