Everyone loves an underdog and everyone loves an FA Cup upset.
Lets start with Hereford United vs Newcastle United 3rd round 1972
Your lot almost had one of the competition's best upsets in 1997, matt. If it hadn't been for the blind ref.

I know, I didn't support them back then as I was only 4.
I've always loved the FA Cup, IMO its the best trophy in English football.
Here are my favourites:
Sunderland 1-0 Leeds
We made Huddersfield Town rosettes at Junior School the day before the final!
Leeds 0-1 Hereford
Then, just a year later ....
Histon 1-0 Leeds
Not forgetting this gem ...
Rochdale 2-0 Leeds
there are too many FA Cup upsets for West Brom fans for this thread. Every year is an FA Cup upset and I expect with the start of the season we have had that this will be the same
No giant killing memories, Stairs?
My favourite was in the early 70s when the mighty Don Revie's "champions of Europe" lost at 4th division Colchester.
This was always my favourite.

We've been the toppled giants ourselves a lot more often. Woking is commonly held as the lowest point in the club's history, and Halifax wasn't much better. Last time we actually beat a Premier League team in the competition was 2002, which tells you a lot about Albion's cup fortunes in recent times.
