It was the first time City had ever reached this far in the historic cup competition after a second-round win over Millwall enabled City to face English giants Liverpool.

The game was initially postponed due to bad weather but was re-arranged for the following week on the Thursday and despite the weather continuing to be disruptive, the game went ahead and what a day it was.

The Reds were on a long unbeaten run at the time, challenging hard for promotion back to the top flight from the second division, but they gave City a big advantage by dropping the legendary Billy Liddell for the game.

It was the “baby” of the side, 18 year old winger Tommy Skuse, who set City on the way with a goal after just ten minutes when the Reds' keeper Tommy Younger lost his footing and Skuse poked past him to spark wild celebrations.

Liverpool dominated for large spells but could not make the breakthrough with City's keeper John Kirkwood making a series of great saves to keep his side ahead.

The visitors couldn't break the hosts down and with eight minutes left on the clock, Worcester doubled their lead after more mistakes in the Liverpool defence eventually saw defender Dick White lift the ball into his own net following a dangerous Harry Knowles cross into the box.

It looked for all money City has secured their fourth round tie with Sheffield United but Liverpool pulled a goal back two minutes later as the referee awarded a penalty after Les Melville had fouled Freddie Morris and Geoff Twentyman slotted home to set up a tense last few minutes.

City hung on to set up a 4th Round tie v Sheffield United.
