Perhaps the most impressive win in the history of Bristol Rovers was the 4 – 0 FA Cup victory over Manchester United , managed by Matt Busby , on 7 January 1956 . Five of the United players on that day were later to die in the Munich air disaster . In the same competition during the 1957 – 58 season Rovers reached the quarter-final for the second time , where they lost 3 – 1 to Fulham at Craven Cottage
