I'll always remember the first game of football I ever went to: I was aged six; the location was
Aggborough in Kidderminster as the Harriers took on Aston Villa in Graham Allner's testimonial. It
was a few years before I was ever introduced to top flight football at Villa Park or First Division
football at Molineux.

Ahead of this weekend's FA Cup games, we thought it only right to bring you just a teeny weeny
taste of the 'Magic of the Cup™' courtesy of one Wayne Hatswell, a name that will live long in
the memory (possibly) a man who, in one moment of pure unadulterated technical incompetence,
smashed home arguably the worst own-goal ever.
Normal service is now to resume after the somewhat chaotic Christmas and New Year matches, but
we're going to spend a little time catching up with the last of the festive highlights from over
the course of the last three days or so. We have six matches lined up for you this evening. From
the Blue Square Premier, we have highlights of the matches between Wrexham & AFC Telford United and
Forest Green Rovers.
It was Non-League Day this weekend, as you will all now be thoroughly aware, so to close up on
this it's time for this week's Non-League Videos Of The Week, this week featuring no fewer than six
matches, from the Blue Square Premier, the Blue Square South, the Northern Premier League, the
Southern League and the FA Cup.
Close of business today, we had been told, was the deadline, and the sanction if this wasn't met
was common knowledge. Wrexham FC was to be barred from entering this year's Blue Square Premier
play-offs with one of Kidderminster Harriers, York City or Darlington replacing them, depending on
the way that results went on Saturday afternoon.
It's a slightly different time for our non-league videos of the week, and this week we're
focussing on clubs that are owned by their supporters again. First up is the match from the Evostik
League Premier Division between FC United of Manchester and Worksop Town. A couple of months ago,
we could have been forgiven for thinking that FC United's league season was grinding to a halt, but
they have won seven of their last nine matches and now have an excellent chance of making the
play-offs at the end of the season.
