FA Cup Saturdays were wall-to-wall coverage from the moment you woke up, it was glamour, it was glitz, it was Keith Chegwin. You gorged yourself on this rare day when football took centre stage and it was wonderful.
It's perhaps why many have no recollection of Linighan's extra-time winner for Arsenal in their final replay against Sheffield Wednesday.
Chelsea were expected to beat Middlesbrough so when Roberto Di Matteo put them 1-0 up so early that was that, the headlines were written: Record-breaking wonder goal seals FA Cup for Chelsea.
You remember the Paul Konchesky Final, right?
The West Ham defender's cross sailed over Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina and into the net to give the Irons a 3-2 lead in the 2006 showpiece.
Then with seconds remaining of normal time, Lionel Scaloni smashed the ball into touch near the Liverpool dead-ball line so Djibril Cisse could receive treatment for cramp. There was hardly time to restart play and with Liverpool penned in their own half the final whistle blew handing West Ham lifted the cup for only the fourth time in their history.
Except, Scaloni didn't pump the ball upfield, he rolled it into touch inside his own half, Liverpool regained possession and Steven Gerrard produced one of the most memorable of FA Cup final goals.
Chelsea have been in ten FA Cup finals since the turn of the century and there have never been more than three goals in any of them.
In fact five have finished 1-0, including four in favour of the Blues. So you'd think it'd be much easier to remember the Chelsea scorers.
Arsenal completed a stunning comeback at Wembley to win the FA Cup Final 3-2 in 2014 today.
