Liverpool once escaped a giant-killing in the FA Cup despite twice trailing to non-league outfit Havant & Waterlooville.<\/p>\n

The Premier League giants looked set for a comfortable afternoon against the club in January 2008 in the fourth round of the domestic competition. Coming off a 5-0 win against Luton Town in the third round, most fans expected a thrashing but boy were they surprised.<\/p>\n

It was Havant & Waterlooville that stole the headlines and silenced the Anfield crowd after Richard Pacquette opened the scoring in the ninth minute for the away side. It was a remarkable journey just to get to the historic stadium having won seven ties on their FA Cup journey including a 4-2 win over Swansea City who were playing in League One at the time.<\/p>\n

The thrilling victory earned them the trip to Anfield where they were suddenly in the lead but it was only a brief moment of elation, as Lucas Leiva equalised less than 20 minutes later with a stunning strike. However, the unthinkable happened again, as Martin Skrtel's own goal put the non-league side back in front.<\/p>\n

Pacquette – who enjoyed a two-year stint with the club – opened up about the famous game last year and said then-Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez knew it'd be a tough game considering he started the likes of defensive colossus Sami Hyypia, Argentina legend Javier Mascherano and then England frontman Peter Crouch.<\/p>\n

"Liverpool did put out a strong team because I think they knew it was going to be tough," he insisted. "We were a team going there with nothing to lose and I\u2019m sure they looked at our results and knew it wouldn\u2019t be an easy 90 minutes. I remember watching Soccer Saturday before the game and the pundits were talking about it being 8-0 or 9-0, I think we used that as a bit of extra motivation."<\/p>\n

While Liverpool eventually turned up the heat with Israeli midfielder Yossi Benayoun's hat-trick and Crouch's 90th minute goal ending the game 5-2 in their favour, it was a special day for the non-league team and their fans. Pacquette, 40, was proud that he and his team-mates didn't just roll over for the Premier League giants but did admit he was frustrated not to play the entire game.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"We showed we wouldn\u2019t be an easy game," he said. "We went 1-0 up, then 2-1 up and went in at the break at 2-2. I think we did ourselves justice. "I was actually a bit disappointed to come off after an hour. We\u2019d just gone 3-2 down and were still in the game. I felt I still had more to give."<\/p>\n
