    Forest drew Linfield in 1889 and Queen's Park in 1885.

    Incidentally, Linfield drew 2-2 with Forest and then withdrew before the replay, never to enter the competition again. Of all the teams that have entered the FA Cup they are the only one to have never been beaten.

    Not surprised they withdrew, after Brian Clough's scathing remarks about them after the game.

    I think the Cliftonville games were played in qualifying rounds of the tournament, which are probably not considered to be actual FA Cup ties by the people who supplied this information. Otherwise they've done Cliftonville a disservice !
