HOLDERS Manchester United and eight times winners Tottenham, the two most successful clubs in the history of the FA Cup, will clash in the third round at Old Trafford.
At the other end of the scale, little Woking are roaring back into the Midlands, looking for another famous scalp at Coventry.
It was a low key, low tech draw at Lancaster Gate, shifted out of the limelight by the BBC to its second channel at 10.15pm and nearly sabotaged when former England boss Bobby Robson kept two of the 64 balls in the velvet bag.
But nothing could decry the old magic as Stevenage, another of the remaining minnows, were given a home tie against Birmingham and vowed to keep it at the ground ruled not good enough for league football last season.
Hednesford, the third Vauxhall Conference side left in, swallowed their disappointment at missing the giants but promised visitors York: "You won't enjoy coming to our place."
But two games stand out head and shoulders. The clash of the titans looks certain to be one of the live matches, predicts United chairman Martin Edwards.
"It's a very exciting tie," he said. "It will obviously be a great game and I'm sure television will have something to say about it.
"We've won the Cup nine times and Tottenham have won it on eight occasions so the two most successful teams in FA Cup history have been drawn against each other."
Woking wanted either side, but are more than happy to set their sights on struggling Coventry, who will remember how they won at West Brom in 1991 before losing 1-0 at Everton.
"Ron Atkinson was going to supply a team for my testimonial and I see his picture every time I look over my right shoulder in my office," said Woking boss Geoff Chapple.
"I know Gordon Strachan's at the helm now but Big Ron's still there and I'm sure everyone at the club will be delighted we've drawn them. All we wanted was a Premiership side."
Stevenage boss Paul Fairclough has vowed the Hertfordshire club, who beat Leyton Orient on Saturday, will try to keep the third round tie at their 7,000 capacity Broadhall Way.
"We will have to look at the financial side of it. If we switch, we will still take at least 7,000 to Birmingham."
Liverpool have been made 5 to 1 FA Cup favourites by William Hill, who offer 6 to 1 Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle, 8 to 1 Aston Villa, 10 to 1 Chelsea, 12 to 1 Everton, 16 to 1 Wimbledon, 20 to 1 Tottenham, 25 to 1 Blackburn, Middlesbrough and West Ham. Enfield are the 5,000 to 1 outsiders.
