2 Non-League teams – Sutton United of Greater South London, and Lincoln City of Lincolnshire – have qualified for the FA Cup 5th Round for the first time since the current tournamnent format was adopted, which was over 90 years ago, in 1925-26.
As it says in the FA Cup Factfile’s 5th Round Preview {link, again, is here}…”Two Non-League clubs are into the Fifth Round in the same season for the first time since the current FA Cup format was put in place in 1925/26 season. (Note, two non-league clubs or more have been in the last 16 at the same time before, but they all occurred before 1921).”
Sutton United, a Non-League/5th division-club, were positioned 84 league places and 3 divisions lower than the second-tier Leeds United.
(League placements before kick-off on 29 January 2017…Sutton Utd: 16th place in the 5th division, which is #108 in the leagues ladder / Leeds Utd: 4th place in the 2nd division, which is #24 in the leagues ladder.)
