Attention all sports fans - mark down Saturday May 17 in your diaries right now.
Whatever you do keep that evening free for what promises to be the most exciting and passionate English FA Cup final in decades.
This weekend's extraordinary quarter-final results have brought the romance and magic that has been missing for so long back into the world's oldest domestic football competition and ensured this year's final at the new Wembley will truly be one to savour for all those thousands of sports fans who love seeing the underdog prevail against the odds.
Back in January this column lamented that all the drama and romance that had for so long been part of the FA Cup - a tournament renowned for springing upsets over the years - had disappeared due to the total dominance of the competition in recent years by just four clubs - Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.
It wasn't just the fact that these four clubs between them had won every FA Cup dating back to 1995 that was causing the bulk of football fans to lose interest in the once great competition but the fact that for these four clubs the FA Cup - which every other club in England would do anything to win - was very much a consolation prize compared to winning either the Premier League title or the European Champions' League.
But thanks to the heroics of four clubs - Portsmouth, Cardiff, West Bromwich Albion and particularly Barnsley - this year will now mark the first time since 1991 that not one of the big four will be present in the FA Cup final.
Incredibly it is the first time since 1908 that just one team from England's top division had made it through to the last four with Cardiff, West Brom and Barnsley all playing in England's second tier competition known as the Championship.
And it also sets up the fascinating possibility that for the first time since the present system of different divisions was set up in 1888-89 that there could be an FA Cup final involving two teams from outside England's top division.
West Brom is the only one of the four semi-finalists to have won the FA Cup, which was first staged in 1872, more than once and also the most recent of the four to have won it with its last and fifth victory being back in 1968.
The other three clubs left have all only tasted victory once - Portsmouth, the only EPL team left in the competition and now the clear favourites, won it in 1939 while Cardiff's sole success was in 1927 and Barnsley's even further back in 1912.
So it guarantees that whichever team wins this year's competition it will be their first major success in generations guaranteeing the sort of joyous, once-in-a-lifetime kind of scenes that haven't been witnessed at Wembley for far too long.
Barnsley, the battling Yorkshire club, now find themselves as the sentimental favourites in the year of the underdog having eliminated two of the big four in Liverpool (at Anfield) and Chelsea on the way to their first semi-final appearance since their sole FA Cup success nearly 100 years ago.
And in the semi-finals in the first weekend of April they now find themselves up against Cardiff - the Welsh team that has long played in English football - who are famously the only team from outside England to have ever lifted the trophy.
For Barnsley it is literally a once-in-a-lifetime chance to not only lift the FA Cup but earn a pathway to the riches of Europe by qualifying for next year's UEFA Cup.
And while Portsmouth, which has made great improvement in the EPL in recent years under shrewd manager Harry Redknapp, and promotion chasing West Brom are far better credentialed than either Barnsley or Cardiff - both teams have for far too long sat in the shadows of English football and will also realise they will never get a better chance to break their long trophy droughts.
It all adds up to the most exciting FA Cup final in decades and shows that even in these days of astronomical player salaries and gigantic recruiting networks available to the top clubs that the battlers can still have their day in the sun.
