Good morning everyone, and welcome to an FA Cup first round

0:00:270:00:30

special edition of Match of the Day Kickabout.

0:00:300:00:33

We are here today at St James's Park, not the St James's Park in

0:00:330:00:37

Newcastle, but St James's Park of Brackley Town FC, non-league, but

0:00:370:00:42

hoping to get the rub of the green from this fantastic surface in their

0:00:420:00:48

huge FA Cup encounter tomorrow with league opponents Newport County.

0:00:480:00:54

Here is what's coming up on today's show:

0:00:540:00:58

What is it like to spend a day in the life

0:00:580:01:00

of a semiprofessional footballer?

0:01:000:01:03

We met up with Eddie Odhiambo.

0:01:030:01:06

Magic man John Farnworth dazzles the Newport County squad in training,

0:01:060:01:11

and, as they join the FA Cup in round three, the Premier

0:01:110:01:14

League continues this weekend.

0:01:140:01:18

We have all the latest news.

0:01:180:01:21

But, before all that entertainment, let's take a look

0:01:210:01:23

at this week's headline hitters.

0:01:230:01:28

Check out this goal scored by a Japanese high school team.

0:01:280:01:32

After the kick upfield from the goalkeeper, the ball does

0:01:320:01:35

not touch the floor once.

0:01:350:01:37

And how about the finish?

0:01:370:01:40

Not bad from a school team!

0:01:400:01:47

Who is better?

0:01:500:01:53

Ronaldo or Messi?

0:01:530:01:54

Every football fan has had the argument, but one person who is sure

0:01:540:01:57

of the answer is Ronaldo himself.

0:01:570:01:59

I don't care what the people are thinking, what they

0:01:590:02:02

say, in my mind, not just this year but always, I am always the best.

0:02:020:02:06

Manchester City are through to the knockout round of the

0:02:060:02:11

Champions League after a 3-1 win.

0:02:110:02:20

Neighbours Manchester United also got a win at home to Moscow

0:02:200:02:23

to go top of their group.

0:02:230:02:26

And this late free kick sealed a 2-1 win to give Chelsea a much-needed

0:02:260:02:29

morale boost at Stamford Bridge.

0:02:290:02:34

But Arsenal were Mullered in Munich as they were beaten 5-1 by

0:02:340:02:36

Bayern Munich.

0:02:360:02:39

What a run this is with Douglas Costa through the middle!

0:02:390:02:42

I am sat in the home team dugout of Brackley Town FC, where tomorrow

0:02:480:02:51

afternoon then manager Kevin Wilkin will be biting his fingernails,

0:02:510:02:56

he will be pacing up and down the technical area, hoping beyond hope

0:02:560:02:59

that his team can get a result in the FA Cup first round proper.

0:02:590:03:05

He is not going to be able to step outside the technical area,

0:03:050:03:11

as much as he might want to.

0:03:110:03:13

But I bet you he will be playing every single ball

0:03:130:03:16

that is kicked out there.

0:03:160:03:17

Come on!

0:03:170:03:18

Ref!

0:03:180:03:19

Oh, come on.

0:03:190:03:21

What are you do doing back there?

0:03:210:03:23

Push, push!

0:03:230:03:24

Why aren't you pushing?

0:03:240:03:26

Come on!

0:03:260:03:28

Keep it moving!

0:03:280:03:32

Not under!

0:03:320:03:36

What are you doing?

0:03:360:03:37

Watch your man!

0:03:370:03:38

Watch the eyes.

0:03:380:03:45

OK, well maybe I got a bit carried away, and you cannot blame Brackley

0:03:450:03:49

for doing that either.

0:03:490:03:50

They had to beat three other teams to get to this stage.

0:03:500:03:52

Tomorrow afternoon, this place will be buzzing

0:03:520:03:55

as full-time professionals Newport County come and take on

0:03:550:03:57

the part-timers of Brackley Town.

0:03:570:04:00

Earlier this week, I caught up with one of those players, who has to

0:04:000:04:04

juggle the demands of a full-time job with the responsibility

0:04:040:04:07

of turning up for the first team.

0:04:070:04:11

Meet Eddie Odhiambo.

0:04:170:04:21

He was in the same Southampton youth team as Lallana and trained along

0:04:210:04:24

side the likes of Gareth Bale.

0:04:240:04:28

His career has taken him from Tanzania to Oxfordshire in England.

0:04:280:04:32

And, because he is part-time, he also has a day job as community

0:04:320:04:35

manager for Brackley Town.

0:04:350:04:40

My role is community manager at Brackley Town, which involves

0:04:400:04:43

delivering sessions at schools, so it is really about bringing football

0:04:430:04:46

to the community of Brackley.

0:04:460:04:58

a week in the evenings was tricky.

0:04:580:05:03

There were times where you left home and it was early hours,

0:05:030:05:06

and you got home after 10pm.

0:05:060:05:07

Now I have got a grip on it and I am really enjoying it.

0:05:070:05:11

Usually, his job is teaching these kids skills on the training pitch,

0:05:110:05:14

but today, I had something different in store for him.

0:05:140:05:19

Class 4, welcome to this specially themed

0:05:190:05:28

Match of the Day Kickabout lesson.

0:05:280:05:30

My name is Mr Shires.

0:05:300:05:32

Good morning, Mr Shires.

0:05:320:05:34

Can anyone guess why we might be here today?

0:05:340:05:42

Is it for the FA Cup?

0:05:420:05:44

Absolutely right.

0:05:440:05:45

Well done, young man.

0:05:450:05:47

And, does anyone know who will be playing in the FA Cup this weekend?

0:05:470:05:52

Odhiambo, you are being a bit naughty there.

0:05:520:05:54

Come on.

0:05:540:05:57

Brackley Town against Newport County.

0:05:570:05:59

Absolutely right.

0:05:590:06:01

Stand up, everyone.

0:06:010:06:03

Every question has two possible answers.

0:06:030:06:06

If you get the question wrong, I am going to need you to sit back down.

0:06:060:06:10

The youngest ever player in an FA Cup final was Curtis Weston in 2004.

0:06:100:06:14

Was he 16 or 17?

0:06:140:06:22

The answer was 17.

0:06:220:06:25

Oh dear, oh dear.

0:06:250:06:32

Let's hope you are talking on the pitch, rather than in the classroom.

0:06:320:06:35

Well done.

0:06:350:06:38

Well done.

0:06:500:06:52

Leave the ball there.

0:06:520:06:54

For those of you who like a disco, let's get on the ball.

0:06:540:06:57

That's it, final whistle.

0:06:570:06:59

In football playing, you are coaching in the community, where do

0:06:590:07:03

you find the time to do all the other stuff you need to do in life?

0:07:030:07:07

When do you get your hair cut?

0:07:070:07:09

I actually got it done yesterday!

0:07:090:07:14

Does there come a point where you have been working

0:07:140:07:18

all day and you think, I am just too physically tired,

0:07:180:07:21

but you have to push through that?

0:07:210:07:22

That is called Tuesday.

0:07:220:07:25

Any unusual job on the team?

0:07:250:07:27

I have got somebody who works on the bins.

0:07:270:07:30

I have got a salesman.

0:07:300:07:32

But I would not dream of buying anything from him.

0:07:320:07:35

Let go back to your time at Southampton.

0:07:350:07:40

Who were the biggest players?

0:07:400:07:42

Theo Walcott, Nathan Dyer, Gareth Bale.

0:07:420:07:44

Did you play with Gareth Bale?

0:07:440:07:50

Yes, he was a year or two younger than me, he was playing under 16s

0:07:500:07:54

one minute, and the next minute he was in the first team.

0:07:540:07:58

I feel fortunate to have played with players of that calibre.

0:07:580:08:04

We will go out onto the pitch.

0:08:040:08:08

Behind the goals is the faithful stand are.

0:08:080:08:11

They cheer all my goals.

0:08:110:08:16

Yes, my mate!

0:08:160:08:18

Nine, ten, 11...

0:08:180:08:25

It has been a long day.

0:08:280:08:30

It is raining, we are still going.

0:08:300:08:32

Let's hope we can get a win on Sunday.

0:08:320:08:36

Well, I was tired just following Eddie around all day.

0:08:360:08:39

Now, I am joined by the man who will be making that

0:08:390:08:44

all-important team talk in this very room, the Brackley Town home

0:08:440:08:47

changing room, tomorrow afternoon.

0:08:470:08:49

It is Kevin Wilkin, the manager.

0:08:490:08:51

It is a pleasure to see you.

0:08:510:08:53

And you.

0:08:530:08:57

It is going to be a tense place tomorrow, I imagine.

0:08:570:09:03

I think so, there will be one or two nerves.

0:09:030:09:07

People have got plenty to look forward to.

0:09:070:09:11

It is a great opportunity for us.

0:09:110:09:13

We spent some time this week with Eddie. What do you make

0:09:130:09:16

of their dedication?

0:09:160:09:20

With them working 60 hours, some of them, a week

0:09:200:09:23

in their everyday jobs, and then to come training two nights a week

0:09:230:09:26

and commit to the Saturdays as well, it is a big commitment, but days

0:09:260:09:29

like this are what it is all about.

0:09:290:09:31

A chance for us to put ourselves on the map.

0:09:310:09:34

I hope you do.

0:09:340:09:35

I know you had your work cut out picking 11 players for tomorrow,

0:09:350:09:39

but we like to ask people to pick their dream five aside team.

0:09:390:09:43

Can you do that for us?

0:09:430:09:44

Yes, sure.

0:09:440:09:48

In goal, we go with Manuel Neyer.

0:09:480:09:51

Nearly unbeaten in goal.

0:09:510:09:53

World Cup winner, a top goalkeeper.

0:09:530:09:56

At the back, Bobby Moore.

0:09:560:09:58

England legend.

0:09:580:10:00

Good tackle by Bobby Moore!

0:10:000:10:02

The perfect timing.

0:10:020:10:04

He was a bit before my time, but speaking to people,

0:10:040:10:08

everybody that has ever watched him, said what a legend he was,

0:10:080:10:13

and again, a World Cup winner.

0:10:130:10:15

England are the world champions!

0:10:150:10:17

In midfield, I would go for Kenny Dalglish.

0:10:170:10:20

As a Liverpool fan, an absolute legend at the club.

0:10:200:10:26

A legend for Scotland, and a goal scorer, someone who can get around

0:10:260:10:29

the field and help me in midfield, which is where I see myself.

0:10:290:10:32

Playing alongside Kenny Dalglish, it would be an honour.

0:10:320:10:38

Up front we will go with Cristiano Ronaldo.

0:10:380:10:41

Again, probably needs no explanation.

0:10:410:10:46

A top, top player.

0:10:460:10:49

He scores goals for fun, great energy, great strength.

0:10:490:10:51

That is my dream team.

0:10:510:10:53

Hopefully we can be successful.

0:10:530:10:55

Well, thank you, Kevin.

0:10:550:11:00

I will leave you to get on with the tactics for tomorrow.

0:11:000:11:05

We have sent John Farnworth down to Newport training to practice

0:11:050:11:08

some of his magic skills.

0:11:080:11:10

Perhaps those players will be too busy trying to figure out how

0:11:100:11:13

he did it prepare for the game.

0:11:130:11:16

18, centre back.

0:11:360:11:40

Collins, 18, striker.

0:11:400:11:42

Evans, 18, midfielder.

0:11:420:11:48

As I go through the cards, mate, you are going to say stop.

0:11:480:11:51

Stop.

0:11:510:11:51

OK, that is your card.

0:11:510:11:53

Do you know what it is?

0:11:530:11:54

Yes.

0:11:540:11:56

I don't want to see the card.

0:11:560:12:00

I want you to think about the card.

0:12:000:12:02

Don't tell me your card.

0:12:020:12:05

Got it?

0:12:050:12:06

OK.

0:12:060:12:08

I am going to give you the deck.

0:12:080:12:10

I am going to try to find it.

0:12:100:12:14

Wow.

0:12:250:12:26

This is a joke.

0:12:260:12:35

Is that your card? Yes.

0:12:350:12:38

I have actually got a world record for this trick, but I have kind

0:12:380:12:41

of figured out a way of tying my laces while I do around the world.

0:12:410:12:52

As I go around, I can sort of kick it in a way that, when it goes

0:12:520:12:58

around, it ends up tied, my shoe.

0:12:580:13:00

It is crazy.

0:13:000:13:02

It is my favourite trick.

0:13:020:13:06

That is impossible!

0:13:060:13:10

If you want to see more of John Farnworth's amazing magic,

0:13:200:13:23

go to our website.

0:13:230:13:24

We will also find lots of quizzes to test your football knowledge,

0:13:240:13:28

and all of our best interviews.

0:13:280:13:29

The FA Cup is a celebration of grassroots football, and kickabout

0:13:290:13:32

viewers have been excelling on pitches and playgrounds everywhere.

0:13:320:13:40

Look at left-footer James, a perfect free kick with great pace.

0:13:400:13:44

Ronaldo and Gareth Bale would be proud.

0:13:440:13:49

And what can you say about this confident finish from Lucas?

0:13:490:13:53

Messi had better look out!

0:13:530:13:57

We might be getting very excited about the FA Cup first round,

0:13:570:13:59

but that doesn't mean we have forgotten about this weekend's

0:13:590:14:02

Premier League action.

0:14:020:14:05

Chelsea visit Stoke and will be desperate for a win.

0:14:050:14:07

Jose Mourinho's men are down in 15th place.

0:14:070:14:11

The North London derby will be as big as ever.

0:14:110:14:13

Tottenham are in good form, and young stars have been called up

0:14:130:14:17

to the latest England squad.

0:14:170:14:20

That's all we have got time for on today's show.

0:14:200:14:30

Let's hope Brackley do themselves proud on this very page tomorrow

0:14:300:14:32

afternoon against Newport County.

0:14:320:14:33

And who knows, they may even pull off one of the

0:14:330:14:36

FA Cup's magical giant killings, just like these guys did.

0:14:360:14:40

Can he win it here?

0:14:400:14:45

He can!

0:14:450:14:48

Jarrett Rivers for the Spartans!

0:14:480:14:55

Driven in that time, and it is in.

0:14:550:14:58

Just look at the scenes.
