Sutton United 2–1 Coventry City (1989)
- ... that non-League Sutton United's defeat of Coventry City in 1989 has been described as "one of the greatest FA Cup giant-killing acts of all time"?
- ALT1:... that a team including bricklayers, assistant bank managers and insurance clerks defeated Coventry City in the third round of the FA Cup in 1989?

Date and length fine. AGF on book and paywall sources used. I think it might be better if you can expand the link beyond just "defeated" @The Rambling Man: @Amakuru:. I slightly prefer ALT1, especially if you say Coventry were pros. QPQ done, no close paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 17:13, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- The Rambling Man, are you okay with me linking FA Cup in this hook? MeegsC (talk) 13:50, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- I mean, it's the oldest association football (soccer) cup competition in the world, so it's a bit like asking to link the Superbowl, but whatever you like. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:59, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
