FA Cup 1995-96
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The FA Cup 1995-96 was the 115th staging of the world's oldest cup competition, the Football Association Cup or FA Cup. The competition was won outright by Manchester United, who won the final through an Eric Cantona goal five minutes from the end of the game. It gave Manchester United a league and cup double after they secured their third league title in four years. It was also United's third straight FA Cup Final.
The tournament began with teams from non-league football competing in preliminary and qualifying rounds in order to make it to the competition proper. Details of the qualifying tournament and all the rounds through to the final are available at FA Cup archives. Teams from Divisions 1-3 entered at the First Round, while Premiership teams entered in the Third Round.
