0:00:58 > 0:01:05The biggest Chelsea celebration! At the heart of the British film
0:01:05 > 0:01:10industry lies a town once known as the British Hollywood.
0:01:10 > 0:01:16From the streets where movie stars once walked, and some of the
0:01:16 > 0:01:21greatest stories were told, comes a football club 70 years in the
0:01:21 > 0:01:30making. Intent on FA Cup glory. This, the greatest Cup competition
0:01:30 > 0:01:38in the world, where anything can happen. And right now, on first

0:02:41 > 0:02:47where you are. For the rest of us here is a lesson.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Let's have a little geography lesson.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51We are a short hop from London-Upon-Thames,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53due north of Wembley, where the final will
0:02:53 > 0:02:57take place next May.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00And just next door to the famous Elstee Studios -
0:03:00 > 0:03:03the reason why we went all Hollywood at the top of the show.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05This is Meadow Park, our home for the day.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07I am sure every time I mention the opposition Blackpool you are
0:03:07 > 0:03:12probably going to boo. Yeah, there you go. Blackpool are the opposition
0:03:12 > 0:03:16today.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17One of 40 ties in all.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Here's what's coming up for you today.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Happy as Harry - Winks reflects on a glory night for Spurs.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32To come away with a win in the way we done it as well was incredible.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Chelsea's Cesc returns to face his former boss.
0:03:35 > 0:03:42With Mourinho I had an incredible year, one of the best seasons.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46We have Seagull Shane Duffy on his near death experience.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51I am so grateful for the doctors and surgeons keeping me alive.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54And, taxi for Clemmit.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Hop in, I will take you.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58The FA Cup road trip is back.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I think that might be the end of our film references.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02But who knows?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Plenty of FA Cup build up for you but it's a big weekend
0:04:05 > 0:04:06in the Premier League too.
0:04:06 > 0:04:12in the Premier League too.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Let's remind you of the fixtures.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18The early game between Stoke and Leicester kicks off shortly,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20before four three o'clock games including high flying Burnley's
0:04:20 > 0:04:22trip to Southampton - we'll be live at that one
0:04:22 > 0:04:23with Motty soon.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Liverpool go to West Ham this evening and there's a couple
0:04:26 > 0:04:27of whoppers for you tomorrow.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30As Manchester City host Arsenal, and Chelsea play Manchester United.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Before that, there's a high noon meeting between Crystal Palace
0:04:32 > 0:04:35and a Spurs side still purring after their mid-week
0:04:35 > 0:04:40It was a Wembley night to savour for a certain Mr Winks.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I just had some toast, I haven't got anything in between my teeth, have
0:04:43 > 0:04:52I? OK, good.I think Wednesday is probably a good place to start. What
0:04:52 > 0:04:56was that night like to be involved in?It was pretty special to be
0:04:56 > 0:05:00honest. As a Spurs fan, as well, to be involved in a game as big as that
0:05:00 > 0:05:05and to come away with a bin in the way we done it as well was just, it
0:05:05 > 0:05:09was incredible.Dele said something interesting after the game, he
0:05:09 > 0:05:13expected, you expected to beat them. Expecting to beat the European
0:05:13 > 0:05:16champions is quite a statement, is that indicative of where you guys
0:05:16 > 0:05:21are at the moment?We have been playing well lately, the draw a few
0:05:21 > 0:05:24weeks ago was a really good result for us going there. Liverpool as
0:05:24 > 0:05:28well straight after with another win. We know how good we can be. I
0:05:28 > 0:05:32think it's more of a case of showing that consistently and just proving
0:05:32 > 0:05:35to everybody how good we can be.You are Spurs through and through, what
0:05:35 > 0:05:38do you remember, what was the first game you went to?Against
0:05:38 > 0:05:44Middlesbrough. Somehow I managed to get tickets on the halfway line in
0:05:44 > 0:05:49the directors' seats.Fancy.Don't know how we got them, it was
0:05:49 > 0:05:53fantastic, we won as well, teddy Sheringham might have scored. It was
0:05:53 > 0:05:57a great day. We went together, me and my dad. All I can remember as a
0:05:57 > 0:06:00young kid, the atmosphere of White Hart Lane, it was pretty special.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06Something I will never forget to be honest with you.Boyhood heros, who
0:06:06 > 0:06:12did you look up to?Um, quite a few. I think the main one really for me
0:06:12 > 0:06:15was probably Steven Gerrard, he was my real idol. I even wrote him a
0:06:15 > 0:06:21letter at some point when I was a kid as well. I don't think it got to
0:06:21 > 0:06:25him, I didn't get a reply. As real heros probably Gerrard for me.What
0:06:25 > 0:06:29about here, who helped you here when you were a youngster?Scott Parker
0:06:29 > 0:06:32was brilliant when I was young. A few times after training he would
0:06:32 > 0:06:36sit with me and discuss some of his clips and show me why he had done
0:06:36 > 0:06:41this and that and what he thinks I can do. I found that reason helpful,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43especially someone so respected and a good world-class player to take
0:06:43 > 0:06:48time out of his day to speak to me was something I will never forget.
0:06:48 > 0:06:54How did the whole little Iniesta thing come about, it's quite an
0:06:54 > 0:06:58accolade.I am miles off his level just yet. He is someone I aspire to
0:06:58 > 0:07:02be like. He is a fantastic player. To even have comparisons like that
0:07:02 > 0:07:05from the gaffer is fantastic. Premier League debut and you scored
0:07:05 > 0:07:09as well. It's like you only had eyes for him. Batting everyone else away,
0:07:09 > 0:07:13straight for him. Was that a testament to just how special he is
0:07:13 > 0:07:19for you?Harry Winks is there! Equalises for Tottenham Hotspur. He
0:07:19 > 0:07:23scores his first goal for the club. When Josh scored his first goal for
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Spurs and the mappinger did say, he was like, when you score why not
0:07:27 > 0:07:32celebrate with me. -- manager. That stuck in my mind, I said I will make
0:07:32 > 0:07:36sure I celebrate with the gaffer. That was the meaning behind that. To
0:07:36 > 0:07:41say thank you for everything and giving me the opportunity.Harry
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Kane and Harry Winks were fantastic today.What did the next two, three,
0:07:45 > 0:07:52four years look like? In your dreams?In my dreams... We win a
0:07:52 > 0:07:55trophy, win the World Cup. For me, I don't know. I don't really like
0:07:55 > 0:08:00planning too far in the future. I want to take it game by game, week
0:08:00 > 0:08:05by week and just go from there. The longer you plan, it's difficult to
0:08:05 > 0:08:08really, you can't, you know what football is like, you can't really
0:08:08 > 0:08:14plan it. All I can do is keep working hard and see what happens.
0:08:14 > 0:08:22If you are just joining us, we are live at bo Wood. We have a live
0:08:22 > 0:08:27audience as well -- Boreham Wood. Let me just... How many Spurs fans
0:08:27 > 0:08:33here? Quite a few? OK. Big fans of Harry Winks. He was fantastic
0:08:33 > 0:08:38against Real Madrid. A few weeks and Gareth Southgate was being asked
0:08:38 > 0:08:42questions because he put him in the England side.You look at that
0:08:42 > 0:08:44performance and how accomplished he is starting to look. It's almost as
0:08:44 > 0:08:47if you need that first ten or 15 games before you feel fully settled
0:08:47 > 0:08:51into the first team and now we are seeing what a good player he is. He
0:08:51 > 0:08:56is taking examples from top players, yeah.It's like he is so brave on
0:08:56 > 0:09:02the ball. He tries things. If it doesn't work out he tries again. He
0:09:02 > 0:09:06is not the kind of person to get away from responsibility. I like the
0:09:06 > 0:09:11way he place.An interesting piece written this week about the way he
0:09:11 > 0:09:15receives the ball. All top players will look around and see what's
0:09:15 > 0:09:22around them, he says Gerrard is his hero and he is very Gerrard-esque.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27Frank Lampard as well, he was the ideal player from a midfield point
0:09:27 > 0:09:31of view. Always having six, seven looks around. It's almost knowing
0:09:31 > 0:09:35where to play the ball before it's hit your feet.And the players
0:09:35 > 0:09:42around you know that he is doing that. So he's upped his game, player
0:09:42 > 0:09:49around will up their game. He knows Harry is doing that.15 of the last
0:09:49 > 0:10:0030 England debuts have been coached by Mauricio Pochettino. Are they
0:10:00 > 0:10:05contenders?At the top level hitting quarters and semis, they've not been
0:10:05 > 0:10:09at that stage before, that could perhaps go against them, they've got
0:10:09 > 0:10:14the quality. They've competed against the best. Are they at
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Manchester City level, PSG level, Juventus, Barcelona? We will see.I
0:10:18 > 0:10:22think they'll surprise a few.They showed people with the result mid
0:10:22 > 0:10:26week to take notice.That's what they can do and they'll expect to do
0:10:26 > 0:10:29it again against other teams. Whether they'll go all the way I am
0:10:29 > 0:10:37not sure.Palace, are they improving under Roy Hodgson. They're improving
0:10:37 > 0:10:43since Saha came back.What a plus it was getting him back. We saw that in
0:10:43 > 0:10:49the Chelsea game. What he can enhance the transition. When Roy
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Hodgson's sides sit deep, they're well organised, where is the break
0:10:52 > 0:10:58coming from? Where is that spark and drive them forward? Saha provides
0:10:58 > 0:11:05that.Steven Reid as well. He is a winner. He will give that motivation
0:11:05 > 0:11:09last few words. You know what he is like, he is a winner. That's what
0:11:09 > 0:11:14players needed, somebody to say, go on, you can do it.Extraordinary
0:11:14 > 0:11:20last minute goal there. We are being closely man-marked here! Don't know
0:11:20 > 0:11:27if you have noticed.I thought will I get the jel wows out -- elbows
0:11:27 > 0:11:29out, I keep missing them, they're that small!We will be back later.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33You are going to join us. We are going to have a word with the
0:11:33 > 0:11:37manager. We love to show you a dressing room on Football Focus.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39This is an interesting club right at the heart of the community. All the
0:11:39 > 0:11:42lads you are seeing are part of the academy, they've been training and
0:11:42 > 0:11:48playing this morning. We are going to find Luke. There is the pitch.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Beautiful surface that I am sure makes a difference to the way they
0:11:51 > 0:11:54play. Luke is in here. He has been associated with the club for a long
0:11:54 > 0:11:59time. Good afternoon to you, sir. Good afternoon.The youngest manager
0:11:59 > 0:12:04in the top five division. Only 32 years old. What's it been like, the
0:12:04 > 0:12:09build-up to this game this week? Yeah, it's nice. Obviously it's good
0:12:09 > 0:12:13for the town. On Thursday getting the community a nice buzz and I
0:12:13 > 0:12:16tried to keep it as simple as possible and try to reflect on the
0:12:16 > 0:12:22national league game in terms of our build-up. Very positive.Kevin and
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Dion are going to join us as well. You seem cool and calm at the
0:12:25 > 0:12:29moment. Did you sleep well last night, do you feel the pressure on
0:12:29 > 0:12:33an occasion like this?Slightly broken sleep, have to be honest. I
0:12:33 > 0:12:37am pick ago side that I think are going to cause Blackpool problems
0:12:37 > 0:12:41and I think a few are going to be upset, that's my biggest worry. I am
0:12:41 > 0:12:45calm at the minute. Closer to kick-off it will start to dawn on me
0:12:45 > 0:12:49we have Blackpool in the first round.Dan mentioned the pitch and
0:12:49 > 0:12:54we will look in a while, but does that pitch and the standard of that
0:12:54 > 0:12:58pitch dictate your tactics and the way you play?We have looked to try
0:12:58 > 0:13:07and utilise the ball more in terms of playing through the third.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12Arsenal under-23s ladies play there. It's an incredible surface.Best
0:13:12 > 0:13:14outside the championship, we are lucky to have that. I brought
0:13:14 > 0:13:20personnel in to try and explore the fact that we have a lovely pitch.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24The fact that Blackpool play and we are going to... It's probably going
0:13:24 > 0:13:29to help them as muchDoes it hinder you as a manager knowing teams are
0:13:29 > 0:13:31going to go their pitch is fantastic, let's play a bit of
0:13:31 > 0:13:37football?The FA Cup first round and you go away to a team in the
0:13:37 > 0:13:40national league you are assuming there's going to be... Exactly that.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43When they land here today, it's probably the best pitch they played
0:13:43 > 0:13:50on all season.It's immaculate. Beautiful.You are going to put out
0:13:50 > 0:13:54a team that you feel will cause damage. For the club and town it's a
0:13:54 > 0:13:58huge occasion.Speaking to the chairman it's all about the glory.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03We have never beat a league side in our history.Until now!Yeah, I am
0:14:03 > 0:14:11hopeful.What about the final words, I am always interested. Do you go
0:14:11 > 0:14:15full-tilt, stay low-key, do you show players how much it means to you?We
0:14:15 > 0:14:20have done a lot of build-up, for me tactics are already set in place.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25They know how big the game is, let's be honest. I have played in first
0:14:25 > 0:14:28round propers and I don't need a team talk, as low key as possible.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31They know how important it is to get on the front foot and get our game
0:14:31 > 0:14:35into play as much as possible.Have you got those final words in your
0:14:35 > 0:14:39head now, do you know what you are going to say?I have something in my
0:14:39 > 0:14:45head, whether I say it...Don't give it away yet! I am ready, don't know
0:14:45 > 0:14:54about you lads. Let's get out there. Fabregas this weekend takes on his
0:14:54 > 0:15:01former boss and he has been talking to Gary.
0:15:05 > 0:15:20COMMENTATOR:Exquisite skill.There is Pep Guardiola, Conte - of
0:15:20 > 0:15:22contrast in styles and personalities. Who improved you the
0:15:22 > 0:15:30most?All the managers that you mentioned, I have been able to adapt
0:15:30 > 0:15:36myself, my football, to each one of them. With Jose Mourinho, I had one
0:15:36 > 0:15:43of the best seasons of my career. In the Premier league, the first time I
0:15:43 > 0:15:48won it, I remember going on my knees. It was such a relief. I was
0:15:48 > 0:15:52holding my hands up, saying thank you, because it was a competition I
0:15:52 > 0:15:56played in so many years, and some of them, I was close. To be able to win
0:15:56 > 0:16:04it with a fantastic teak under Jose was quite an experience.There have
0:16:04 > 0:16:08been times when you have not been first choice - how frustrating is
0:16:08 > 0:16:14that?To be honest, last year was the first time, really, that I
0:16:14 > 0:16:25wasn't first choice, and it was tough. I would not deny it. I
0:16:25 > 0:16:29complain, I moan, I cry, or I show this manager that I am the best and
0:16:29 > 0:16:35that I can play.You are in your 30s now. How would you like to end your
0:16:35 > 0:16:39career? Here, or... ?I don't know, and I don't want to think about it.
0:16:39 > 0:16:47Every time I make plans, they never go the way I just get on with it,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51and whatever comes comes.I must say, if they are not going away you
0:16:51 > 0:16:54want, you have had an extraordinary career. I don't know quite what you
0:16:54 > 0:16:59want. You have won everything, except one major competition - the
0:16:59 > 0:17:11Champions League.Correct.Is that the one you need to tick off?It is
0:17:11 > 0:17:25a thing that it's here. I keep it in mind and I would love to win it one
0:17:25 > 0:17:28year, hopefully with Chelsea.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30We've had a look in the dressing room.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34How about the kit room?
0:17:34 > 0:17:40This is the domain of Loretta. She is sorting out 21 kits for 21 teams.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45Boreham Wood are our community club. They have the largest football
0:17:45 > 0:17:49education scheme in the UK. They will need to heighten the doorways
0:17:49 > 0:17:57for idiots like me! They take the development seriously as well. We're
0:17:57 > 0:18:00making our way past the shallows. The dressing rooms are off to the
0:18:00 > 0:18:07right out onto the pitch, where Dion and Kevin will be waiting for us. We
0:18:07 > 0:18:15mentioned the Arsenal connection.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Hopefully as we stroll down here and onto the pitch.
0:18:19 > 0:18:29As we walk up to our pundits, listening to Cesc Fabregas there, it
0:18:29 > 0:18:38has been a funny week. You have Abramowitz at the training ground,
0:18:38 > 0:18:42which is a warning sign. Automatically, you are thinking red
0:18:42 > 0:18:51alert when that happens. Given how well they played over in Madrid, it
0:18:51 > 0:18:54has been inconsistent this season, but some of the games have been so
0:18:54 > 0:18:59impressive, and to go to that, it is totally on Antonio Conte.I think
0:18:59 > 0:19:07they have come in and out of games. Northern it -- normally they
0:19:07 > 0:19:16dominate through possession, but now they are playing for 15 minutes --
0:19:16 > 0:19:27...You are shaking your heads. It is hard to work out...He knows how
0:19:27 > 0:19:31to get hold of the game, and when to pass forward, went as not to get
0:19:31 > 0:19:38strikes into the game, whether it is the number ten, Jesse Lingard, he
0:19:38 > 0:19:44knows when to speed up play and when to slow down. He has great know-how.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47He has half dictated how the other players play. He is a catalyst.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Everything goes through him. Pogba when he is fit and playing hasn't
0:19:51 > 0:20:01got a position now.In answer to your question, it is incredible how
0:20:01 > 0:20:06Chelsea let him go, given that can say is out and they are struggling
0:20:06 > 0:20:12in midfield. They have let him go to United. It's crazy, really.Jose
0:20:12 > 0:20:20Mourinho was happy with that but not with the fans. Is it part of his
0:20:20 > 0:20:23character that he loves to pick battles and they are not always the
0:20:23 > 0:20:29wisest ones to pick?I thought he was coming out of that mould, out of
0:20:29 > 0:20:34that edgy manager in interviews, and I thought he was chilling out. He
0:20:34 > 0:20:38started wearing a suit. And then you get this little gesture into the
0:20:38 > 0:20:42camera, and you are picking a fight that doesn't need to be there. I
0:20:42 > 0:20:48don't think United need it.Are they not getting the credit they deserve?
0:20:48 > 0:20:52The performance at Anfield and the tactics, even the Tottenham game,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56but he has got the results. He will be happy with the points he has had
0:20:56 > 0:21:07from those two games.That is his board.He has done that at Chelsea,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09wherever he has been - in the bigger games, don't give anything away.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Manchester City against Napoli were amazing as well. They are five
0:21:13 > 0:21:19points clear at the top. Sergio Aguero finally became the club was
0:21:19 > 0:21:28my all-time goal scoring record holder. It gives us an excuse to get
0:21:28 > 0:21:36his greatest hits out. COMMENTATOR: Aguero shoots from 25 yards. What a
0:21:36 > 0:21:52goal! Brilliant finish by Aguero. Aguero schools! -- Aguero scores.He
0:21:52 > 0:22:04finds the goal. His 50th Manchester City goal. What about that?A man
0:22:04 > 0:22:16for all kinds of games and all kinds of goals.Aguero finishes
0:22:16 > 0:22:24magnificently.A sweetly timed header.He's got it through... Its
0:22:24 > 0:22:32Sergio Aguero!You two were just smiling watching that. So many great
0:22:32 > 0:22:40goals. Is he the best we've seen in the Premier league?Alan Shearer and
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Dion might have an argument with that! I think he is certainly
0:22:45 > 0:22:49different to the conventional strikers we have seen. The variety
0:22:49 > 0:22:54of goals he has scored, his team play, and his awareness, how that
0:22:54 > 0:22:59has picked up, you certainly are there.There is a way to mark as a
0:22:59 > 0:23:05centre half, to mark certain centre forwards. I wouldn't like to imagine
0:23:05 > 0:23:12how to mark Aguero. He is strong. I'm not sure which is a stronger
0:23:12 > 0:23:18foot, because he can score great goals with his left foot as well.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23Here is one that many will debate - are they playing the best football
0:23:23 > 0:23:32we have seen in the time of the Premier league?I think United would
0:23:32 > 0:23:37argue that they played a different sort of attacking football. Arsenal,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40in their heyday, were playing great attacking football. It is more of a
0:23:40 > 0:23:46continental style is that we have seen, so it is different. How they
0:23:46 > 0:23:50are opening up sides and the chances they are creating, I think the
0:23:50 > 0:24:00chances are so abundant now.United used to be girls, girls, girls, and
0:24:00 > 0:24:07now City are dominating matches with the ball at their feet. -- goals,
0:24:07 > 0:24:17goals, goals.
0:24:20 > 0:24:27Is there a sign of a bit of bite for you?It is how Wenger lines up the
0:24:27 > 0:24:31side this weekend - will he be more organised, maybe sacrifice not
0:24:31 > 0:24:34having the ball, sinking deeper, because that might be the only way
0:24:34 > 0:24:39to get a result against City at the moment. If you attack man city, it
0:24:39 > 0:24:42will be such an open game, and city will have too much for them. It is
0:24:42 > 0:24:49now Wenger lines them up. Arsenal won't have enough for them.If you
0:24:49 > 0:24:52try to match City, you will come a cropper. Arsenal have to be clever.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57When they have the ball, they have to use it to their best in
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Manchester City's box, because I don't think they will have the ball
0:25:00 > 0:25:10as much as City.There is a proper wind coming down here. Do you want
0:25:10 > 0:25:20to play?It is far too cold! Brighton are unbeaten in three.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Brighton - unbeaten in three - face Swansea this weekend.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Juliette Ferrington has been to see their Irish centre-half.
0:25:24 > 0:25:31Shane Duffy has quite a story to tell.
0:25:42 > 0:25:48It was a deep free kick when I went up and the keeper thought he could
0:25:48 > 0:25:59punch the ball, and I got up and headed it, and he need the litany --
0:25:59 > 0:26:02he hit me with his knee right there. I started getting light-headed a
0:26:02 > 0:26:19little bit, and then literally, that was me on a stretcher, with oxygen
0:26:19 > 0:26:23little bit, and then literally, that was me on a stretcher, with oxygen.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26The doctors told me it was all internal. I lost three litres of
0:26:26 > 0:26:36blood inside my body. My heart was starting to stop. The doctor said,
0:26:36 > 0:26:40we could lose your son here, and my dad, I don't know how he took it,
0:26:40 > 0:26:48but I'm sure it wasn't good. When I woke up, I was literally, what
0:26:48 > 0:26:54happened? The last thing I remember was hitting the ground hard. I never
0:26:54 > 0:26:58think about it, to be honest. When I do speak about it, I'm so thankful
0:26:58 > 0:27:11for all the surgeons and doctors for actually keeping me alive.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Let's reflect on the start you have made under way you have adapted
0:27:22 > 0:27:27Brighton to Premier league live.I think we have adapted very well. We
0:27:27 > 0:27:32started the campaign with arguably the toughest that you might have. We
0:27:32 > 0:27:36lost a game against Manchester City but we fared well, and I think that
0:27:36 > 0:27:40started us off on a good footing. Since then, I think we've adapted
0:27:40 > 0:27:48quite well.What about this centre half partnership?I have to say that
0:27:48 > 0:27:52they both deserve it. They are playing well and playing in a good
0:27:52 > 0:27:58unit. We know that can change. They had to make sure they keep the
0:27:58 > 0:28:02levels they have done. They are to make good individuals. In some ways,
0:28:02 > 0:28:06old-fashioned centre half is, but they would also say they have played
0:28:06 > 0:28:11in a good unit around them.It is a pleasure to play alongside him. We
0:28:11 > 0:28:17complement each other quite well. Sometimes, you put two players
0:28:17 > 0:28:21together like that and it clicks. At the minute, it is working well and
0:28:21 > 0:28:26I'm enjoying playing with him.What do you think he would say about you?
0:28:26 > 0:28:36I don't know! He is quite down to earth. It's been good.The job that
0:28:36 > 0:28:42Chris Hughton is doing - how key is he to that togetherness that he has
0:28:42 > 0:28:46built?He keeps everyone grounded. He is one of them good managers who
0:28:46 > 0:28:49can keep everyone happy and get everyone together. It is working at
0:28:49 > 0:28:53the minute and hopefully it can continue.To be mid-table after ten
0:28:53 > 0:28:59games this season, that goes to show how good you actually are.It is
0:28:59 > 0:29:04just belief in the squad, from the manager down. Mid-table, not getting
0:29:04 > 0:29:08too carried away. There is a tough league, and it is not a massive
0:29:08 > 0:29:12difference between the bottom three and where we are, so we have to keep
0:29:12 > 0:29:18ahead of ourselves. Another big game on Saturday. If we can get a bigger
0:29:18 > 0:29:29gap, that would be good.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Here we are at Boreham Wood for the first round of the FA Cup. On Shane
0:29:32 > 0:29:37Duffy, always amazing when you hear an emotional back story. He is
0:29:37 > 0:29:42playing great football for Brighton and his country.Anyone who saw his
0:29:42 > 0:29:45performance against Wales in Cardiff last month, it was an incredible
0:29:45 > 0:29:50performance from him. He's getting better and better, growing into the
0:29:50 > 0:29:54mole of a Paul McGrath, Richard Dunston. He has been that good. --
0:29:54 > 0:30:04into the mould.He has been like a magnet. Good centre halves, that are
0:30:04 > 0:30:07getting better, they become a magnet to the ball and nowhere to go when
0:30:07 > 0:30:17the ball is in a position on the pitch.
0:30:17 > 0:30:23Republic of Ireland have a play-off against Denmark.I am nervous, I am
0:30:23 > 0:30:27going to Copenhagen next weekend. I am nervy, because of the form of
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Eriksen, as well, that's going to be a fact nor the game. People are
0:30:31 > 0:30:34saying we have the best draw. We have everything going in our favour.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39I don't necessarily see it like that. We have had a history of
0:30:39 > 0:30:43losing big play-off matches.You would rather have the first leg at
0:30:43 > 0:30:48home and have something to hold on to.I would have done. The way it's
0:30:48 > 0:30:53gone, on the Martin O'Neill as well, we have put in good performances
0:30:53 > 0:30:57away from home. I would prefer to get, hopefully, a home win and go
0:30:57 > 0:31:00away to defend something. But it's not that way. Many see it the other
0:31:00 > 0:31:03way around.It's nice to have something there. Always nice to have
0:31:03 > 0:31:09it there so you can tighten the grip on it. Pull the ranks when you need
0:31:09 > 0:31:14to defend, defend well.It's a small issue. You have to do it over the
0:31:14 > 0:31:17course.We publish the Republic and Northern Ireland... No excuses. One
0:31:17 > 0:31:21thing I have noticed you don't want to celebrate a goal from a sat down
0:31:21 > 0:31:28position here. Do you?No chance! Makes you leave the dugout before
0:31:28 > 0:31:34you go wild. We talked about the Republic of Ireland.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36There are four Republic stars in the squad at Burnley.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37One of them, Jeff Hendrick,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win
0:31:40 > 0:31:44against Newcastle on Monday night.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49His second of the season. Lots of rumours still about Sean Dyche.
0:31:49 > 0:31:56Could he be on his way to Everton? We will talk about that later.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Burnley travel to Southampton this afternoon and John Motson
0:31:58 > 0:32:02is at St Mary's for Match of the Day as part of his farewell tour.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03John, you've got an old friend alongside you.
0:32:03 > 0:32:12Afternoon, John. Well, yes. I go back a long way with
0:32:12 > 0:32:17this man. A legend in Southampton because of the FA Cup and everything
0:32:17 > 0:32:23else. Lawrie, it's FA Cup day today, I am going to take you back to
0:32:23 > 0:32:27February 1966. England haven't even won the World Cup at this stage. I
0:32:27 > 0:32:32am a junior reporter on a local paper in Finchley, MrsThatcher's
0:32:32 > 0:32:42constituency.And I was at school. No, you were the manager of Bishop
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Auckland, you brought them to Finchley.Happy days.We got to know
0:32:46 > 0:32:51each other at Grimsby. I came to do a Football Focus story, the kind of
0:32:51 > 0:32:56thing we see every week. You were a young manager, when I left you, you
0:32:56 > 0:33:01put a bag of something in my case. Well, yes.Do you remember?Fish.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05Bob Abrahams, bless him, was with you. That's what Grimsby used to do.
0:33:05 > 0:33:11They even did it in the referees' room. Three boxes of fish before the
0:33:11 > 0:33:16game and eventually someone a-- someone reported it as an illegal
0:33:16 > 0:33:22approach. Best place in the world for fish.Now 76 and your great
0:33:22 > 0:33:26moment. FA Cup final. Southampton have beaten Manchester United. I am
0:33:26 > 0:33:30still a reporter in those days. The tension between BBC and ITV, you
0:33:30 > 0:33:35wouldn't believe as to who could get the manager with the FA Cup trophy
0:33:35 > 0:33:40into the interview room. This is Bobby Stokes scoring the goal nobody
0:33:40 > 0:33:44will ever forget. My job is to get the winning manager in front of a
0:33:44 > 0:33:47camera as quickly as possible. You and I walked down the tunnel
0:33:47 > 0:33:52together. You had the FA Cup in your hand.That's right.I remember
0:33:52 > 0:33:56somebody threw something, it wasn't a Southampton fan, it knocked my
0:33:56 > 0:34:00glasses to the floor. You know what you did?I picked them up and I was
0:34:00 > 0:34:05going to run away. You were quicker than me.You put them back on. All
0:34:05 > 0:34:09the boys in the studio are saying why don't they talk about the modern
0:34:09 > 0:34:13game here? All about yesterday we are doing.Absolutely, why not.I
0:34:13 > 0:34:16will ask about the modern game. Managers now don't keep jobs as long
0:34:16 > 0:34:20as they did in your day.It's different, it's not the game as we
0:34:20 > 0:34:24knew it, it's more of a business. I don't think they're managers now,
0:34:24 > 0:34:28they're coaches. They're from abroad most of them, they know they're not
0:34:28 > 0:34:32going to stay as long as we did. I was here 12 years, Ted before 18
0:34:32 > 0:34:39years. Doesn't happen any more. You have to win every game. Get the sack
0:34:39 > 0:34:41after four games is ridiculous.I was going to give you one last
0:34:41 > 0:34:44question about the game but I am going to go backwards and say you
0:34:44 > 0:34:48are still in touch with Tommy Doherty, the manager you beat in
0:34:48 > 0:34:53that Cup final. He is 89 years old. Sharp as a tack still. Good
0:34:53 > 0:34:59one-liners. He won it the next year. He did.After us. John, before we
0:34:59 > 0:35:03go, you are a living legend and we will all miss you, I am sure clubs
0:35:03 > 0:35:08like this will give you a ticket.I hope so, Lawrie, thank you.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13We will never shut you up, Motty, we love the memories. Love them looking
0:35:13 > 0:35:18back. Let's talk about Sean Dyche. Would he be a good fit at Everton.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Apologies to Burnley fans. It's a rumour out there and people are
0:35:21 > 0:35:26talking.Hard to ignore. He is top of the list with Sam as well. I
0:35:26 > 0:35:30think Sean could go and manage at Everton without any qualms
0:35:30 > 0:35:35whatsoever. He has the mentality and experience. I would hate to see him
0:35:35 > 0:35:40leave Burnley, he is doing a great job and he is a loyal man. I would
0:35:40 > 0:35:46be surprised if he did.He tends to employee people from the lower
0:35:46 > 0:35:51leagues. I want to ask - you know that experience. From a Sunderland
0:35:51 > 0:35:57point of view, also looking for a permanent manager. What a monumental
0:35:57 > 0:36:04mess at the minute. Grayson was sacked after the last game.That's
0:36:04 > 0:36:09disrespectful as well, nine in six years. It is crazy. But I don't know
0:36:09 > 0:36:12who could have gone in and done a different job and don't know how the
0:36:12 > 0:36:16culture of the club and the club is going to change going forward.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20Something dramatic needs to change within that club to get the club on
0:36:20 > 0:36:24an upward...The foundation, don't know how you can have a solid base
0:36:24 > 0:36:30to move on from, it keeps getting moved.There is talk of others in
0:36:30 > 0:36:33the championship of experience but we will see.Sunderland fans
0:36:33 > 0:36:40miserable at the moment.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43You can keep up to date with all the weekend's events
0:36:43 > 0:36:46with a double dose of Final Score which starts today at ten
0:36:46 > 0:36:48past four on BBC One.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Then watch all the Premier League action on Match of the Day at 10.30
0:36:51 > 0:36:53and Match of the Day two is tomorrow.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Before that, a bumper FA Cup highlights show on BBC Two
0:36:55 > 0:36:56featuring first round ties.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58We've had three already.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Including MK Dons, of League 1, taking on eighth tier Hyde United.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03You watched that as well. Lots of people talking about the flairs on
0:37:03 > 0:37:09the pitch. The referee spoet to both managers at half-time and -- spoke.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13And spoke about the importance of that. Any fan taking anything of
0:37:13 > 0:37:18that nature into the game can face a three-year ban. When the game kicked
0:37:18 > 0:37:27off this is what happened. The first night of the FA Cup first
0:37:27 > 0:37:40round.Oh, that's a brilliant effort and MK Dons lead.
0:37:55 > 0:38:00Mk Dons are comfortably moving into round two.
0:38:00 > 0:38:07Elsewhere last night port Vale managed to upset Oxford. And Tom
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Pope added the second. Miserable night for Oxford, didn't manage a
0:38:11 > 0:38:19single shot on target. Also the league two leaders Notts with a
0:38:19 > 0:38:26great result. It was John Stead who put them ahead. George Grant made
0:38:26 > 0:38:30sure that Notts are in Monday's draw. Lovely finish under the
0:38:30 > 0:38:40goalkeeper. They also go into round two.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Today's visitors Blackpool are 12th in League One,
0:38:43 > 0:38:4646 places above Boreham Wood, who currently lie tenth
0:38:46 > 0:38:50in the National League.
0:38:50 > 0:38:57We are back in the bar with... I am sure you are going to go wild at
0:38:57 > 0:39:07this point, Boreham Wood fans. Come on!
0:39:07 > 0:39:09They're excited about this and you should be too. Unbeaten in seven,
0:39:09 > 0:39:13are you on a good run, why can't you do it this afternoon?Yeah, we are
0:39:13 > 0:39:17obviously hoping it can be us. Every year there is a team from the lower
0:39:17 > 0:39:20divisions that makes it through. We are hoping, obviously it's a tough
0:39:20 > 0:39:25test, they're going well in league one, and yeah, we are hopeful, we
0:39:25 > 0:39:31have good players and hope we can cause an upset.You both play at the
0:39:31 > 0:39:35back. How important is it to making sure the old classic early goal, but
0:39:35 > 0:39:43keep it as tight as you can back there? I like the way you work
0:39:43 > 0:39:51together boys!It's a big part of the foundation obviously, as a
0:39:51 > 0:39:54defence I have been playing there this season and we want more clean
0:39:54 > 0:40:00sheets. Today's going to be a tough test for us, but hopefully we can
0:40:00 > 0:40:04build off a solid defensive performance today.In terms of the
0:40:04 > 0:40:07old dreams, the manager said he didn't sleep particularly well, the
0:40:07 > 0:40:12FA Cup is here, is there a part of you thinking seven games away from
0:40:12 > 0:40:22winning this? That's part of the FA Cup.Go on, you talk. Me again.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Every year there is a team that will go through the rounds and take a big
0:40:26 > 0:40:31draw. I was lucky enough to be involved in one a few years back and
0:40:31 > 0:40:35got Manchester United. I know what's in it for the lower league teams
0:40:35 > 0:40:39like ourselves. Again hopefully today is again going to be a tough
0:40:39 > 0:40:44test, we can't look beyond that. If we do, then hopefully there will and
0:40:44 > 0:40:52big reward.Who is the talker? Silent assassin.It's all a bit too
0:40:52 > 0:40:56much today.Be honest, are you nervous?I am not nervous myself,
0:40:56 > 0:41:00the cameras are here. Hopefully we are here for a good reason, for a
0:41:00 > 0:41:06shock.Would you like to say something about that as well?Yeah,
0:41:06 > 0:41:09I think this comes around once a year and captures everyone's
0:41:09 > 0:41:13imagination. It's a massive competition for teams like us who
0:41:13 > 0:41:17can get a massive reward and again hopefully we can be the one. Always
0:41:17 > 0:41:24two or three and hopefully he can be the one this year. -- we can be the
0:41:24 > 0:41:28one this year.Has the build-up frightened you, have you relished
0:41:28 > 0:41:33it? Who wants to answer that oneTo be fair it hasn't, you guys here, I
0:41:33 > 0:41:36think you are here because you might see a shock and hopefully you do.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Listen, it's great to have you both on. I am sure they'll be cheering
0:41:39 > 0:41:51you on this afternoon. All the best. We will let you enjoy it.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52We are less than ten miles from Wembley.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Five hours in London traffic.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57That's where England play Germany and then Brazil next week as part
0:41:57 > 0:42:01of their preparations for the World Cup next year.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Manager Gareth Southgate called up the uncapped Tammy Abraham,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Joe Gomez and Ruben Loftus-Cheek to his squad on a week
0:42:06 > 0:42:09in which the next generation of English talent has been in focus.
0:42:09 > 0:42:18All this after the under-17s only went and won the World Cup.
0:42:18 > 0:42:25What a day, one game from glory and the biggest day in these teenagers'
0:42:25 > 0:42:26lives.
0:42:28 > 0:42:35Looking to cut it back and then touched by Gomez. Danger here. Gomez
0:42:35 > 0:42:39again. Spain lead 2-0.
0:42:43 > 0:42:51Brewster, to get one back for England! Beautiful pass. There is
0:42:51 > 0:42:51England's
0:42:53 > 0:42:58Can he get it across? He can! England in front. For the first time
0:42:58 > 0:43:04in the final. It's far from finished this game. It's headed back. Can
0:43:04 > 0:43:12they finish it off? Foden is on. Can it get better for England? Foden!
0:43:12 > 0:43:16The party can begin now. After 51 years without one, two World Cups in
0:43:16 > 0:43:24four months. England are the under-17 World Cup winners.Joining
0:43:24 > 0:43:29us now is the FA chief executive. Lovely to have you on the programme.
0:43:29 > 0:43:36Let's talk about that success. Not only under-17s, we have had the
0:43:36 > 0:43:38under-19s, under-20s and 21 as well, what's been the catalyst for that
0:43:38 > 0:43:45success?Hard work. A lot of investment from the FA. St George's
0:43:45 > 0:43:50Park is five years old next month. Dan and the team have spent a lot of
0:43:50 > 0:43:55time putting all of the development teams from under-15 through to 21,
0:43:55 > 0:43:58to international tournaments, we have so much more experience of
0:43:58 > 0:44:02playing abroad and winning and actually, it's been a brilliant
0:44:02 > 0:44:07summer. Also unprecedented, no other country has won under-20 World Cup,
0:44:07 > 0:44:11under-17 World Cup and a Euro competition. It is good for the
0:44:11 > 0:44:15future.The crucial thing is that everyone is asking, what about the
0:44:15 > 0:44:18breakthrough into the Premier League sides? If you look at the
0:44:18 > 0:44:21statistics, overwhelmingly those players who go on to be successful
0:44:21 > 0:44:24make the debuts when they're under the age of 20. That's got to happen,
0:44:24 > 0:44:29hasn't it?You are absolutely right. One of the challenges and problems
0:44:29 > 0:44:31about running a national team in England is that the Premier League
0:44:31 > 0:44:35is so successful and it's a massive global success, it has huge amounts
0:44:35 > 0:44:40of money and you can attract talent from all over the world. To break
0:44:40 > 0:44:44into a first team you have to be really good. But it's interesting, a
0:44:44 > 0:44:50number of the under-20s players are now working and playing abroad.
0:44:50 > 0:44:56Jaden who we lost in the under-17s, one of our star players left after
0:44:56 > 0:45:01the group phase. I think the players are so good they're going to get
0:45:01 > 0:45:05picked up and want to play.Broader issues to discuss, it has been a
0:45:05 > 0:45:08bruising few weeks for your association and many will have seen
0:45:08 > 0:45:11you in front of the Select Committee as well. Importantly, what's going
0:45:11 > 0:45:14to change, what will we see as a difference to the Football
0:45:14 > 0:45:18Association after that encounter? Well, I mean, I was brought into
0:45:18 > 0:45:21change the Football Association two-and-a-half years ago and it's a
0:45:21 > 0:45:24massive organisation. It's like turning around a super tanker. The
0:45:24 > 0:45:28big area of change was make it more open, more in tune with the 21st
0:45:28 > 0:45:31century football and society and it's a big job to do. Clearly we
0:45:31 > 0:45:36have had to learn lessons about how to deal with elite athletes who
0:45:36 > 0:45:39raise a grievance. It's unchartered ground for us. What's going to be
0:45:39 > 0:45:43different is we are working with UK Sport, this issue is something a lt
0:45:43 > 0:45:47of other sports are facing and by Christmas there will be a new
0:45:47 > 0:45:50grievance procedure and a new whistle-blowing procedure which is
0:45:50 > 0:45:58fit for purpose for an elite athlete able to challenge their employer.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00Fundamental questions about the organisation have been asked.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03Even if the FA is fit for purpose.
0:46:03 > 0:46:07If you understand the FA, it is massively fit for purpose. If you
0:46:07 > 0:46:12have ten minutes, I will explain everything. There is hidden work we
0:46:12 > 0:46:17do. The success of the England development programme absolutely
0:46:17 > 0:46:22shows, the investment we are putting in the game, the investment in new
0:46:22 > 0:46:26pictures up and down the country, improving Wembley Stadium - lots of
0:46:26 > 0:46:37stuff we do.Have you at any point ask yourself if you are the right
0:46:37 > 0:46:42person for the job?I was brought in to change the FA, and it takes time.
0:46:42 > 0:46:47I am committed. I love football, I have been on the board of the
0:46:47 > 0:46:50professional club and I know what it's like, and I know that football
0:46:50 > 0:46:55in England needs to change. It needs to be more in tune with 21st-century
0:46:55 > 0:46:59society, learn from other sports and other countries. We are making
0:46:59 > 0:47:03progress. The success of those development teams, winning trophies,
0:47:03 > 0:47:08that shows that progress is being made.Weekends like this
0:47:08 > 0:47:11reinvigorate everyone's love the game, because there is something
0:47:11 > 0:47:17special about this stage of the FA Cup.There is, and the BBC do a
0:47:17 > 0:47:22great job on promoting it. Five years ago, Delle Alli made his debut
0:47:22 > 0:47:25for MK Dons. I watched him playing brilliantly against Madrid on
0:47:25 > 0:47:34Wednesday night. This is the heart of football. No other country in the
0:47:34 > 0:47:37world has the depth of football pyramid that we have got, where you
0:47:37 > 0:47:41can get from the very bottom to the top, which I think is brilliant. The
0:47:41 > 0:47:46FA Cup allows that because the prize money goes all the way down the
0:47:46 > 0:47:59leagues. You set us up perfectly for our FA Cup road trip.
0:48:07 > 0:48:11We get a chance to see some clubs whose football normally goes under
0:48:11 > 0:48:19the radar. This team was taken over by a football website whose members
0:48:19 > 0:48:28were allowed to pick that a man have a say on transfers. They entertain
0:48:28 > 0:48:32Doncaster Rovers. How inspired have you been and have inspired art the
0:48:32 > 0:48:38players by what happened last season?We thought, someone will do
0:48:38 > 0:48:45it this season from our division. Someone will cause a shock, and
0:48:45 > 0:48:58hopefully at us -- hopefully its ass.How old are you?How old -- too
0:48:58 > 0:49:06old. 34.Having had such a dart-mac I was with him for a long time and
0:49:06 > 0:49:09had a lot of success with him. It will be a tough test against
0:49:09 > 0:49:15Doncaster, who are a good team. The way we play, we have faith that we
0:49:15 > 0:49:19can give a good account of ourselves. At home, we have a good
0:49:19 > 0:49:28chance.Welcome to Dartford, who had been in fan ownership for 25 years.
0:49:28 > 0:49:34Their manager has been with them almost as long, and playing for the
0:49:34 > 0:49:38National League South leaders against league to Swindon will be an
0:49:38 > 0:49:42international goalkeeper. Be honest, had you been to Gibraltar before you
0:49:42 > 0:49:52got the call?No. I have heard a lot about it. Visiting the place, no.I
0:49:52 > 0:49:55can't get over the contrast between playing National League South games
0:49:55 > 0:50:01here and then lining up against Eden Hazard in a World Cup qualifier. It
0:50:01 > 0:50:08is a hell of a stretch.It is, and it is great for me, and for my
0:50:08 > 0:50:11family even better, they get to travel and watch. It is good that I
0:50:11 > 0:50:14have done it with Dartford. I have been here a long time and I wouldn't
0:50:14 > 0:50:19want to do with nowhere else.Do you allow yourself to dream that it
0:50:19 > 0:50:24could be your year, you with those tremendous scenes?Last year, we
0:50:24 > 0:50:28played satin in the first round, and if someone would have said that they
0:50:28 > 0:50:35would go wanted the -- would go on to do what they did, I would have
0:50:35 > 0:50:49laughed. -- we played satin. -- Sutton.Our final bus is not
0:50:49 > 0:50:52available, if only our next team had a black cab driving defender to
0:50:52 > 0:51:00collect me...I will take you, make! Heybridge swifts are one of the
0:51:00 > 0:51:04smallest teams in round one. The Essex club have never been beyond
0:51:04 > 0:51:10this stage and visit an Exeter City team for nearly 100 places higher.
0:51:10 > 0:51:14They boast Olly Murs amongst their former players, and thankfully, this
0:51:14 > 0:51:18fellow is one of their current ones. I always think this is a brilliant
0:51:18 > 0:51:20profession for a part-time footballer, because you can build
0:51:20 > 0:51:25your hours flexibly around again. Definitely. You can work when you
0:51:25 > 0:51:30want when you are rack caddy, so it is good to play football and do that
0:51:30 > 0:51:35in the back.This is a family industry because not only did your
0:51:35 > 0:51:43old man work here is, but you played for Exeter as well.Yeah, and a few
0:51:43 > 0:51:48other clubs as well. It will be a big occasion for these boys down
0:51:48 > 0:51:54here.Have you been involved in giant killings yourself?I was at
0:51:54 > 0:52:00Wimbledon when we won the cup. Amongst that squad?Absolutely, a
0:52:00 > 0:52:04long time ago now. To be around these guys and to see the importance
0:52:04 > 0:52:08of that draw, it is quite humbling, really, to pull everything together
0:52:08 > 0:52:13and go, the FA Cup is still massive. For these peoples to go and get a
0:52:13 > 0:52:17result against Exeter on Sunday, it will be phenomenal.Were thinking we
0:52:17 > 0:52:21could get something. We won't just make up the numbers. We are thinking
0:52:21 > 0:52:30we can get a result. If we done that it would be incredible. Hopefully we
0:52:30 > 0:52:36can make a bit of history.Tell your grandchildren - you'll be driving
0:52:36 > 0:52:42around in this thing and you won't be able to shut up about it.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45Let's have a look at some of those first round fixtures then,
0:52:45 > 0:52:49seventh tier Shaw Lane are already underway against Mansfield..
0:52:49 > 0:52:52The big one here at Boreham Wood kicks off at three,
0:52:52 > 0:52:58as do the all non-league ties between Gainsborough and Slough,
0:52:58 > 0:53:00and Gateshead versus Chelmsford.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03Nantwich of National League North will be looking to shock Stevenage.
0:53:03 > 0:53:04Tomorrow.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06Truro City, the first Cornish side to reach
0:53:06 > 0:53:07the first round since 1969.
0:53:07 > 0:53:08Who were the last ones?
0:53:08 > 0:53:09Falmouth Town?
0:53:09 > 0:53:11Beaten 4-1 by Peterborough.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13They go to Charlton - 74 places separate those two.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15There's an all seventh tier clash between Letherhead and Billericay.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18And as we've just seen Dartford and Heybridge will be looking
0:53:18 > 0:53:19to upset Swindon and Exeter.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22And you can see the goals from those Sunday games
0:53:22 > 0:53:24as they go in on Final Score, before Monday's all-important
0:53:24 > 0:53:27second round draw.
0:53:27 > 0:53:36Before that, Match of the Day 2 Extra is on.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38And look out for a special documentary being
0:53:38 > 0:53:42shown next weekend.
0:53:42 > 0:53:50It is one of the simple pleasures, messing around with the football. I
0:53:50 > 0:53:55did it for a living. It doesn't hurt. There's plenty that happens on
0:53:55 > 0:54:00the field that does hurt, but not this. This seems 1 million miles
0:54:00 > 0:54:07away from this.You get a loss of normal brain function.I want more
0:54:07 > 0:54:13information.A footballer doesn't expect to die at 59 brain damage.It
0:54:13 > 0:54:18is a disgrace, how they have covered it up.Could the game I love playing
0:54:18 > 0:54:23actually kill me?A great programme, that. Alan has spent the entire year
0:54:23 > 0:54:28working on that, so well worth your time. Boreham Wood take on
0:54:28 > 0:54:34Blackpool. We have got to mention the opposition. Matt is here from
0:54:34 > 0:54:38the Blackpool Gazette. This is a club with great history,
0:54:38 > 0:54:40particularly in this competition, and yet, in the last few years it
0:54:40 > 0:54:45has been terrible for Blackpool.On the field, they have done well in
0:54:45 > 0:54:50terms of promotion. The ship is steady.But the fans aren't happy?
0:54:50 > 0:55:04No. The fans are boycotting the home games so that back-up of the ticket
0:55:04 > 0:55:08price doesn't go to the owning family.Monday is a significant day.
0:55:08 > 0:55:12The family could be left with a bill which meant they pulled away from
0:55:12 > 0:55:15the club.A big day. The fans are thinking this could be their big
0:55:15 > 0:55:34hope. One investor has said he has not had his fair share of the money.
0:55:34 > 0:55:37On the pitch, everyone is dreaming of an upset. Blackpool want to get
0:55:37 > 0:55:41it right and get them quick, really. It is a club that has gone seriously
0:55:41 > 0:55:53downhill. I was a precedent fan, and they were envious Blackpool fans. He
0:55:53 > 0:55:59has used discriminatory terms, he has addressed people a certain way
0:55:59 > 0:56:03in public, Mr Austin. It has been extremely poor.I want to mention
0:56:03 > 0:56:09the glory days, because we have a special guest today. The Blackpool
0:56:09 > 0:56:14final, the Matthews final, 1953 - ladies and gentlemen, and Dawson,
0:56:14 > 0:56:22who was there. Your grandson Harry is here. We will see some pictures
0:56:22 > 0:56:26from that game in 1953. How old were you and what do you remember?I
0:56:26 > 0:56:35remember everything about it. I saw it live, and when we came home on
0:56:35 > 0:56:40Sunday, I saw the repeat as well. What was it like as an occasion?It
0:56:40 > 0:56:44was fantastic, because we were losing at half-time, and then it
0:56:44 > 0:56:49became 4-3.As a Blackpool fan at the time, everyone remembers it as a
0:56:49 > 0:56:55Matthews final, but we forget the hat-trick.Absolutely. They were all
0:56:55 > 0:56:59fantastic, the 11 of them.Who do you support these days? Have you
0:56:59 > 0:57:04drifted away from Blackpool?Because I moved back to London in 1954, I
0:57:04 > 0:57:15now support Chelsea.We understand the change of allegiance. Harry,
0:57:15 > 0:57:26your grandson is Boreham Wood fan. We were having a chat before the
0:57:26 > 0:57:30programme, and you told us that your grandmother was at the final in
0:57:30 > 0:57:341953.It is a moment in history, and both about local clubs get to meet
0:57:34 > 0:57:39each other. It's brilliant.From your perspective, careful what you
0:57:39 > 0:57:45say, because you are surrounded by Boreham Wood fans... Who is calling
0:57:45 > 0:57:49you? Someone is saying, I can see you on the telly! What will be the
0:57:49 > 0:57:53result today? Might there be an upset the Boreham Wood?I hope it's
0:57:53 > 0:57:58Blackpool. You never know with Blackpool these days. I'm hoping.
0:57:58 > 0:58:05It's great to talk to you. Thank you very much. Lovely to see you, Harry.
0:58:05 > 0:58:09Thank you to all our guests. Thanks to Boreham Wood for such a warm
0:58:09 > 0:58:12welcome. Thanks to you lot - you been brilliant. For some reason,
0:58:12 > 0:58:18we're going to leave you with some wrestlers. See you next week.
0:58:18 > 0:58:20Goodbye!
0:58:31 > 0:58:35We have come to set the bar. Massive Liverpool fan since I was eight
0:58:35 > 0:58:47years old. Wayne Rooney is a class act as usual.As you can tell,
0:58:47 > 0:59:07Seamus does not hold a grudge at all.1-3.0-0.0- seven. Let's be
0:59:07 > 0:59:11honest.
