It was also known as the Ronnie Radford Giant-Killer Award, named after the Hereford United midfielder whose long-range goal against Newcastle United in a 1971–72 Third Round Replay helped bring about one of the FA Cup's most notable giant-killings. Radford scored from 30 yards to level the tie five minutes from time, and Hereford of the Southern League scored the winner in extra time through Ricky George, to advance at the expense of the First Division side.
When the award was introduced in 2010–11, fans voted for what they consider the biggest giant-killing of the season, with the victorious club being presented with the award, originally by Radford, at the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium. The award was discontinued after the 2018–19 season.
