We can make it through the night

I honestly think we can turn Spurs over and cause one of the greatest FA Cup upsets of all time.

No one, especially Spurs fans, will give us a chance, but that's the romance of the cup.

Stop being remotely sensible

Ben White v Harry Kane should be an interesting contest.

Shock results happen every season, Once in every 20 years or so a shock result is so big it gets remembered. Walsall v Arsenal in the 30's Yeovil v Sunderland in the 40's, Hereford v Newcastle and Colchester v Leeds in the 70's. County v Sheffield Wednesday, Wrexham v Arsenal or even Bradford v Chelsea whilst great wins don't somehow enter the collective football memory.

If we beat Spurs I think it would be a result that people who don't follow Newport or Tottenham will remember 30 years from now, I think we have one chance in a hundred, But it's what we dream of and sometimes dreams come true.

It may not have entered into the collective football memory, but County's win over 6th placed Sheff Weds in 1964 certainly entered into the personal football memory of an 8 year old stand on the Bob Bank at Somerton Park. I can still remember the look of derision of a group of Wednesday fans as they passed me walking from the railway end to the Cromwell end at HT. They were winning 1-0 and convinced of a win for their team. The 2nd half went 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-2. Shame there were only 9000 there to witness it. Probably because Cardiff were playing home at the same time in the cup.

I have been told that the crowd of 9,000 was a fiddle. That there were far more there seems plausible to me. I know that you were only eight at the time but how big did the crowd seem to you? My second game as a nine year old was a league cup tie v Blackpool. 13,000+ on a Tuesday night in 1967.
