Aston Villa, Norwich City, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Queens Park Rangers were unceremoniously dumped out of the competition by lower-league sides, so it's fair to say we've got quite the set of heroes to celebrate.
The fixture between Manchester City and Stoke City has ended 1-1 on a consistent basis over the last few years, so many were skeptical about tuning in for Saturday's early kickoff.
Going to form, it was a relatively drab contest, but the Citizens escaped Stoke-on-Trent with a victory courtesy of Man of the Match Pablo Zabaleta's late goal.
He was a superb defensive and offensive presence all game long on the right-hand side, and his stabbed effort at the back post ensured Roberto Mancini's men continue their cup conquest.
With Arsenal's form very much up-and-down of late, a trip to the Amex Stadium represented a true potential banana skin for Arsene Wenger's men.
The home crowd upped the pressure, and Gus Poyet's side went out with the belief that they could knock out yet another English Premier League side, but it was Olivier Giroud who continually pegged them back.
The visiting Frenchman is on a good scoring run at the moment, and while it was Theo Walcott's winner that edged them the tie, Giroud's brace went a long way to doing the damage.
Luton Town have had a seriously tough decade, but this result goes a long way to putting the smiles back on fans' faces.
They're the first non-league side in 24 years to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup, and it was Scott Rendell who played the part of hero on Saturday.
His late winner at Carrow Road dumped Norwich out of the competition as the Hatters rode their luck and withstood a relative barrage.
The Man of the Match in everyone's eyes was Matt Smith, who until recently was playing part-time football while studying at University.
The FA Cup presents a stage for players like Smith to prosper, and he took his chance. He bullied Sebastian Coates, dominated every marker and scored two goals to help secure a 3-2 win.
It wasn't just his goal, because in all honesty the cut inside was very predictable and Steven Caulker needs to look at himself there.
It was his overall contribution and his willingness and readiness to step into the void Luciano Becchio left in this Leeds United side that impressed the most, and he is largely to thank for a fifth-round tie to come.
There were heroes all over the pitch at Loftus Road—too many to count perhaps—but one man who stood in the dugout played a big part in a historic win.
Six weeks ago this fixture was even, but with Queens Park Rangers dramatically picking up form, MK Dons were walking into a torrid afternoon on paper.
As the FA Cup consistently proves, however, football isn't played on paper. Robinson inspired his men to a 4-0 lead at a Premier League side, then eventually won 4-2.
