I'm having a chilled Sunday, currently watching Tamworth v Spurs. Haydn Hollis is playing in defence for Tamworth. Thought to myself, "I'm sure he used to play for us". My player memory isn't that good 😚

Anyway, yes; it's him. Apparently he now coaches our Under 18s, which I didn't know. There again, there's lots that I don't know 😮

He's just done the most delightful fancy bit of footwork. I can imagine that'll go in his next training video for the young 'uns. It was a joy to behold.

We're approaching 70 minutes and ...... still 0-0. I'm right enjoying it ⚽⚽⚽

Credit to Tamworth but Spurs ought to be embarrassed and might be properly yet.

Couldn't agree more.

The beauty of the cup.

[stevie_b]

I expect Spurs to go ond and win, one way or another, but hey, what a great advert for non-league football. And the FA Cup ⚽⚽😍

I have, however, been known to be wrong: just now and again, like 😚

Nu22 looks a real prospect on this showing.

Haydn's Cruyff turn was a corker, skinned his man and is playing well. Full respect to Tamworth, proper blood and guts performance

Should be due a replay but because the FA pamper to the Premier League especially the 'Big 6' they'll lose out on the revenue and exposure of a replay at THFC.

#Romance of the cup, #Greatest cup competition has been sold down the river IMO.

Too many games say the premier league, but they'll all jet off around the world playing meaning less friendlies in pre-season chasing the £££££££'s

FA & Prem are corrupt as **** IMO

More Maradona in my opinion.

I?d hate to be a spurs fan. Utterly dreadful. Werner is absolutely shocking

Agree 100%. Tamworth deserve a replay at Tottenham and the financial benefits that would bring

[gordon_brittas]

Think our Vertu Trophy lineup would be more than a match for this absolutely dire Spurs side

Haydn mom recovered well from his injury still only 32.Top man.

Postecoglou has got to find himself under serious pressure notwithstanding the final result.

He became a really sound defender until he snapped his Achilles. It was poor timing for him and us. His early troubles may have been down to his partners in defence.

Loved the way he stood his ground and bounced Solanke with minimum effort near the end

Great game to watch

And I agree that lack of replays is disgraceful pandering to the premier league (who moan about too many games then go and play off season matches in USA and Asia!)

However, Tamworth did benefit from this last round, beat Burton on penalties, may not have won a replay away

If we are about to sign a nearly 38 year old, perhaps 32 is the new 26

Based on that one performance he could still play full -time - as good as, if not better, than some of our current centre-backs I would say.

Funny you should say that 🤣
