King's Lynn in the FA Cup pre 1940

King's Lynn's first appearance in the FA Cup (then the English Cup) was in the 1900-01 season when they progressed to the third qualifying round. With the exception of 1908-09 season, the 2010-11 season and the two wars Lynn have competed every year and, in terms of the percentage of games won compared to games played, Lynn can claim to be one of the most successful sides taking part in the competition!
