I liked him a lot when on loan at Harborough. To be playing at step 3 and 4 as a teenager is hard work, especially for a classy player like him.

 

Seems a really nice lad too and I’ve seen him a few times watching Harborough when Kettering not playing. 

 

ill be surprised if he doesn’t get a full time pro contract somewhere within the next year or so. 

 

Him and his Dad are lovely. Proper lovely. He deserves a decent bunce from a contract in a higher league...but hopefully not till next season.

Apparently Kettering’s squad walked in the Sixfields Tavern for a beer after and it nearly kicked off 😂

best i could find... is you in there @Daggers
 

 

 

We were behind the goal. Quite how someone of my *ahem* athletic build failed to find a lens - despite twice launching myself through the air over the front row barrier, like a fat Exocet missile hunting a target - eludes me.

 

Fvck me I'm covered in pain today from the landings. Beer is such a competent painkiller. lol 

 

Know a whole load of people who are in the segment at the end though, including a load of guys I rode around Scotland with on scooters. I'd say that was the greatest win in our entire history - the town will be buzzing.

Interesting thought do Kettering fancy a home tie to Gainsborough, better there chances of getting to round three and getting a premier league team then or get Birmingham City in round two a much harder test but make a lot of money from it.

@Daggers Is Devon Kelly-Evans that good every week? Apart from sloppy pass back to the keeper he was unbelievable. 

Honestly? No. Best game he's produced for us. He's been very decent - but not to that level.

 

But then the Cobblers were injury ravaged, had played four matches while we rested, and completely dismissed our potential. Given most of our matches were up on the Youtubes, I'm staggered at how unprepared they appeared to be - and that gifted an opportunity to a side brimming with passion, confidence, and the habit of winning.

 

That was by far the best performance of the season. Probably the best performance I've seen since first watching the club play The Doog's testimonial celebrity 11. As good as Devon was, we had other 10/10 performances in the squad. Connor was an absolute rock despite the OG. Luca is blessed with touch and desire. And Dan, Dan pulled off two worldie saves. Despite some wayward passes, Andy Thanoj was a heartbeat - thumping away and never quitting, always fighting back to regain possession.

Gainsborough, Burton, Wealdstone, Stevenage, Swindon, Crawley or Blackpool - I reckon we could pull a result against any of them. Failing that, Cambridge, Accrington, Wigan, Leyton, or Morcambe.

 

But I'll take Brum or Wrexham for the cash this round - or Exeter so I can visit family.

The atmospheres in the lower leagues in the clubs taking part seems much more pure than compared to many clubs in the top-flight.

Definitely. Haven't looked forward to FA Cup draws so much for years, thanks to Harborough Town.

Takes me back to my childhood, sat around a radio listening to the 'click clack' as the numbers were pulled out. Brilliant.

Yep.

 

Finishing off a final article for the day then I'm in the car to the club for the draw.

I hope HT & Kettering aren't drawn together personally (save it for the final !). 

Be great to get Birmingham, Wigan, Bristol Rovers etc. 

Hopefully you get your trip to Exeter 🤞

Another tie Harborough Town may fancy is Burton Albion at home, brewers struggling at the moment and just edged National League North Scarborough. Somehow I think a trip to Market Harborough they might found tricky.

I remember Nuneaton Borough we held Histon 2-2 draw at Manor Park, needed a replay in the second round. Sunday afternoon was the draw... most exciting ever thinking were half in the hat alongside the big boys... finally it came out Nuneaton Borough or Histon v Middlesbrough, premier league team coming to Manor Park but you then realised you've still got to win the replay. Most week I dreaded to a fixture, the worst dilemma is imagine us losing and having to witness Histon take on Middlesbrough. Thankfully the gods were with us that night.... veteran defender Terry Angus headed a late winner. The christmas period leading up to the fixture was summit special... remember the queue for tickets... yep before online or phone sales... a long queue down the road by the old manor park. The three tickets cost £38 back in 2006, worth every penny. Was at the turnstiles soon as it opened... at midday... three hours before kick off to get a good spot in - minus temperatures. Honestly up their being one of the greatest football days... FA Cup as magic like no other.
