The man who would become England's greatest World Cup goalscorer drew a rare blank in his first FA Cup semi-final — but perhaps Gary Lineker was cursed from the off.
In a 16-year professional career in which he scored 330 goals at club and international level, Lineker never found the target or finished on the winning side at Villa Park.
It was back in 1982 when his Leicester City side, then in the Second Division, made a raucous run to the last four, only to be beaten 2-0 by eventual winners Tottenham at Aston Villa's ground.
