As part of our nostalgia series, we look back on when Halifax played Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in the League Cup second round in 1990.
After losing the first-leg at The Shay 3-1, Halifax's exit was confirmed after a 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford in the second-leg. Thanks to Johnny Meynell for his help with this article.
