On January 7th 1956, Rovers played what would go down as perhaps the biggest result in Bristol Rovers history. Performing well in the league and in a battle for promotion to Division One, Rovers played Matt Busby's Manchester United, a team by then nicknamed the Busby Babes, in a FA Cup Third Round Tie. Reporter Desmond Hackett described Rovers as the "£110 team with the million-dollar touch of class" in the Daily Express.
