Aldo’s Tranmere Wonders
They may not be as fashionable as their Merseyside neighbours but under the guidance of former Kop hero John Aldridge, Tranmere caused a shock in 2000 by reaching the final.
Division One Rovers led 1-0 from the semi-final, first leg, and having accounted for four Premiership teams in cup competitions, cruised to a 3-0 win.
Nick Henry unleashed a 25-yard volley for the first goal after five minutes and a 20th minute penalty, converted by Alan Mahon, put Tranmere on their way, with David Kelly capping the finest moment in their history 20 minutes from time with a left-foot shot that went in off the post.
