 The FA Cup is the world's biggest and oldest club football competition.  It has been running for over 130 years and this season attracted over 650 clubs with the preliminary rounds taking place back in August.  The Third Round is the point where Premier League clubs enter the competition and the magic of the FA Cup draw often throws together top ranked teams with non-league clubs who have battled through up to seven rounds to reach this stage.  This year was no exception with Premier League Everton drawn at home to non-league Tamworth.  The draw also threw together the two Manchester giants with United looking to avange their crushing 6-1 home defeat to City in the League. 

Our Chief Football Correspondent Stuart Weir reviews the Third Round highlights and we hear from Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard who recently scored a remarkable goal in the League against Bolton Wanderers.shilton_hs_lowres

Peter Shilton (right) holds the record for the highest number of caps won by an England player.  The former goalkeeper won 125 caps during an international career spanning 20 years from 1970 to 1990.  He played at club level for 30 years winning the European Cup twice with Nottingham Forest.  Peter talks to Norman Brierley about his career highlights and shares his thoughts on whether David Beckham should play for the Great Britain team at the 2012 Olympics in London.
