FA Cup shocks are woven into Wrexham’s history.
What might concern Chelsea this fifth round weekend, is that manager Phil Parkinson has a back catalogue of upsets all of his own.
Including being the most recent manager of a side from a lower division to knock out the big-spending west London side.
Back in 2015, Chelsea were clear at the top of the Premier League on their way to the title in the second Jose Mourinho era.
Drogba, Hazard, Fabregas and their talented team-mates should have had no problem against third-tier Bradford City, especially having gone 2-0 up at Stamford Bridge.
“I can remember at the start of the second half looking at Mourinho,” said 58-year-old Parkinson.
“You could almost see it in his eyes, thinking ‘wow’ because his team had switched off and he couldn’t get them going again.”
With three minutes to go – and Bradford now 3-2 up – Mourinho reached over to shake Parkinson’s hand before the final whistle. Parkinson ignored it and watched as his side scored a fourth. They would be the only team to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge that season.
