Arsene Wenger goes in to today's FA Cup clash knowing that realistically it is the only trophy
that can end our seven-year silverwear drought. That's probably why he is set to start RVP up front
against Alex McLeish's men at the Emirates.

talent for the future.

Just Football's Tales from Tier Two series, in

As a Wimbledon fan, it's not easy to recall the opening day of the 1996/97 season, when I sat
slumped in disbelief as Davey Becks put away Manchester Utd's third goal of the afternoon from his
own half. In the Spanish second league division tie between Elche and Almeria, unpronounceable
midfielder Xumetra pulled a Beckham of his own with a tremendous long-range lob over the Almeria
keeper.
