Among their former players, Ilkeston and Hartlepool can count a member of a playing dynasty, a best mate of Cup winner Vinnie Jones and a true FA Cup legend.

Former Chesterfield manager Nicky Law made the last six appearances of a near-600 game career in the FA Cup for Ilkeston before retiring after serving nine league clubs in his 19 years as a player. Law is also the father of another Nicky Law, of Exeter City.

Hartlepool can point to former Dundee, Sheffield United, York, Bristol City and Sunderland defender John McPhail as a former player-manager and former Scotland left back Rob McKinnon, who played 247 times for the club from 1988-92.

Joe Allon started at Newcastle but it was his form at Hartlepool in 1990-91 that earned him a move to Chelsea, where he met FA Cup winner and future Brit flick stalwart Jones. Allon, now a commentator, finished his career with three seasons at Victoria Park (1995-98). There is a close named after him in Hartlepool.

Keith Houchen started and finished his career with Hartlepool – the latter as a player-manager eight years after he scored for Coventry in the 1987 Wembley win over Tottenham (and that after putting them in that final with the winner against Leeds in the semi-final). He scored 104 goals for the Stags in total.

Dulwich Hamlet beat Christchurch through penalties to secure their spot in the Fourth Qualifying Round.

Penalties came in dramatic fashion during their contest, as Dulwich were reduced to 10 men through a red card to Quade Taylor in the 80th minute. Despite the setback, the National League South side converted an 88th minute set-piece to put themselves in the lead.

Christchurch didn't back down, and deep into stoppage time found an equaliser through Josh Kirkham's looping header.

However their remarkable FA Cup run ended in a 3-1 loss during penalties, with Dulwich Hamlet progressing further.
