    S28:E1

    Highlights of the Tennents' FA Charity Shield, the traditional Wembley opening to the football season which gives champions Arsenal the chance to avenge their defeat by north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in last season's FA Cup semi-final. Unfortunately there will be no opportunity for the injured Paul Gascoigne to repeat his wonderful goal in that match, but there is still an abundance of talent on show.

    #20 - 9th May 1992: FA Cup Final: Liverpool v Sunderland

    S28:E20

    The biggest upset in the history of the FA Cup finals came in 1973 when Second Division Sunderland overcame the skill and strength of Leeds United with a goal from Ian Porterfield and a famous save from Jim Montgomery. Sunderland's Cup run this year has seen them score victories over First Division teams West Ham, Chelsea and Norwich. It's now Liverpool's turn to face the 1992 giant-killers in an intriguing Wembley clash. Will John Byrne, the Sunderland striker who has scored in every round of the Cup so far, add a Wembley goal to his tally? Or will the inconsistent Liverpool team that struggled to beat Portsmouth in the semi-finals rise to the occasion?
