TheFA Cup Giant-Killing Award was an annual award that recognised the team which achieves the most impressive giant-killing act in theFA Cup that season.
It was also known as theRonnie Radford Giant-Killer Award, named after theHereford United midfielder whose long-range goal againstNewcastle United in a1971–72 Third Round Replay helped bring about one of the FA Cup's most notable giant-killings. Radford scored from 30 yards to level the tie five minutes from time, and Hereford of theSouthern League scored the winner in extra time throughRicky George, to advance at the expense of theFirst Division side.
When the award was introduced in2010–11, fans voted for what they consider the biggest giant-killing of the season, with the victorious club being presented with the award, originally by Radford, at theFA Cup Final atWembley Stadium.[1] The award was discontinued after the 2018–19 season.[2]
