It might well have been the greatest FA Cup shock of all time, but Macclesfield captain Paul Dawson says their piece of history is a bit of a blur.
Macclesfield, of the sixth-tier National League North, knocked out defending champions Crystal Palace at Moss Rose on Saturday.
Next up is a meeting with another Premier League outfit after this evening's draw, with Keith Andrews' Brentford set to make the trip to the Silkmen.
Paul Dawson is the captain and told RTÉ's Inside Sport that what they did can motivate other minnows in the competition.
"It's historic, isn't it?" said Dawson. "The lads have been on top of the world since Saturday afternoon, and rightly so. What we did was an unbelievable achievement.
"No matter what league, what level, it's 11 v 11 on a football pitch. One ball. So if the confidence is there, the fight's there and everything, then why not?
"Why can't the lower league teams go and upset a few of the big boys?
"In summer, I'm going to be having a few drinks, watching a few of them at the World Cup. So, yeah, it was very surreal, shall we say."
Dawson scored one of the goals in the famous victory, but he says the magic moment caught him off guard.
"It was unbelievable, I don't remember my celebration," he admitted.
"Obviously, I've watched it back now, but at the time, I don't remember celebrating - it was just all a blur."
While the success was fantastic, it pales in comparison to the death of one the players in the squad.
Ethan McLeod was killed in a car crash before Christmas on his way home after a game against Bedford Town, and Dawson says that their former team-mate is always on their mind.
"He passed away on the Tuesday night after one of our games," he said. "The Saturday got called off and we had a game on the Thursday
"You have to get on with it, as bad as it sounds. We'll never get over what has happened and we'll never stop thinking about him and he'll never not be remembered. He'll always be there with us.
"But in football, as soon as you cross the white line, straight away, everything goes out the back of your head and your full focus on the game.
"I'm just so happy we could do that for him and hopefully he's looking down and proud of every one of us."
