    Fans stunned with one team ‘set to host a racecourse’ in sensational FA Cup round one draw blunder

    by

    FANS spotted a funny mistake after the draw for the first round of the FA Cup was made.Games will take place between November 1-4.The draw for the FA Cup first round has been madeCredit: GettyIt will feature some big teams like Birmingham, Huddersfield and Wrexham, as well as non-league minnows.A total of 44 names were pulled out of the hat for the first round – but one appeared as something else on the FA’s website.The fixtures showed a tie between Hartlepool/Brackley vs Aintree.A correction was later made so the correct team, Braintree Town, was put in place of Aintree.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBut not before eagle-eyed fans spotted the mistake, with some joking the game would be held on a racecourse, referencing Aintree’s famous horseracing venue.One fan reacted saying: “Wonder how long it will take for the FA to realise that they’ve currently got the winner of the Hartlepool-Brackley replay hosting a racecourse…”Another added: “To be a fair, a team of players on horses is something I’d pay good money to see.”There is actually a football team called Aintree Villa FC – but it would have been some achievement for the Step 7 team who play in the West Cheshire League to reach this stage.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSThe FA listed Aintree instead of BraintreeAintree is of course famous for horseracing and hosting the Grand NationalCredit: GettyElsewhere there are some notable ties including AFC Wimbledon’s visit to MK Dons.The two are the bitterest of rivals following the relocation of the original Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes.Roy Keane reveals his pick for next England manager as Man Utd legend says ‘the FA better get busy’ AFC Wimbledon pretty much had to start again and now play in League Two.While League One leaders Birmingham face a trip to non-league side Sutton United.Huddersfield also take on non-league Tamworth.FA Cup first-round drawRotherham vs CheltenhamBarrow vs DoncasterWorthing vs MorecambeBoreham Wood vs Leyton OrientExeter vs BarnetCarlisle vs WiganTamworth vs HuddersfieldHartlepool/Brackley vs BraintreeCurzon Ashton vs MansfieldWycombe vs YorkBradford vs AldershotHednesford/Gateshead vs Gainsborough/BostonBurton vs ScarboroughTranmere vs OldhamRochdale vs BromleyWalsall vs BoltonGrimsby vs WealdstoneBristol Rovers vs Weston-super-MareMK Dons vs AFC WimbledonAltrincham/Solihull Moors vs MaidstoneStockport vs Forest GreenReading vs FleetwoodStevenage vs GuiseleyNorthampton vs KetteringRushall/Peterborough Sports vs AccringtonSwindon vs ColchesterSalford vs ShrewsburyCrewe vs Dagenham & RedbridgePort Vale vs BarnsleyChesham vs LincolnChesterfield vs HorshamSouthend vs CharltonNotts County vs AlfretonTaunton/Maidenhead vs CrawleyHarrogate vs WrexhamWoking vs CambridgeGillingham vs BlackpoolTonbridge Angels vs HarboroughSutton vs BirminghamNewport vs Peterborough More

I’d struggle initially to calm my mind.”The 39-year-old said he started waking at 5am to meditate in 2020 and has gone on silent retreats. He has a 10km run to clear his mind.read more on lewis hamiltonHe added “It’s a great way of getting in touch with myself, my inner feelings — understanding what I want to do.”Asked if he saw a therapist, the Mercedes driver said: “I spoke to one woman years ago — but that wasn’t very helpful. I’d like to find someone today.” Lewis — sixth in the F1 standings — said he is single but wants a family “one day”.He told The Sunday Times: “I wouldn’t be able to do what I do to the level I do it with that.Most read in Motorsport“One of my best friends has just had a kid and I’m seeing how manic it is.“And my nieces and nephew are a handful.“There will be a time and a place for it and I can’t wait for that part.“But right now I have some work to do.” More

      I’m former Man Utd star who scored five goals in a match – but all I could think about was a £600 tip at Newmarket

      by

      IPSWICH legend Alan Brazil has opened up about the time he scored five goals in match – while being distracted by a horse racing tip.Brazil, who also played for Manchester United and Tottenham, shared the incredible story and spoke about the sad passing of Gary Shaw and his hopes for the Tractor Boys this season.Alan Brazil once scored five goals in a match for IpswichAlan Brazil has been working for talkSPORT for 25 yearsCredit: RexBrazil told SunSport…I HAD an unusual build up to this game — waiting to hear if I had won £600 on a hot tip I had been given for Newmarket.It was in the days when betting shops were a fog of cigarette smoke and I remember being desperate for the money so it was an agonising wait for the photograph and steward’s inquiry.Then, when I got to the dressing room I had a really good feeling that I was going to score a hat-trick. I even told team-mate Johnny Wark.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLIt was bizarre I should feel that way because we were up against a fantastic Southampton team who were top of the table with some class players in Kevin Keegan, Micky Channon and Alan Ball.And we were missing the key spine of our side in Paul Mariner, Frans Thijssen and Terry Butcher through injuries.Call it a sixth sense, but to then go out and score my first hat-trick in the opening 19 minutes was pretty incredible.In fact, I hit three in a five-minute spell between the 14th and 19th minute — with South African strike-partner Mich d’Avray assisting the first two and Kevin Steggles’ long ball sending me through for my treble.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSIt was one of those games when everything I did just clicked.Mich — standing in for Mariner — laid the ball into my path for No 4 and Eric Gates made the fifth for me, both in the second half.Despite scoring five goals, I have two regrets from the game.Ipswich forced into series of stadium changes for Premier League including ref massage room and Wag-friendly VIP boxesOne is that I should have had SIX! Right at the end, I squared the ball to d’Avray when I’m confident I would have scored — and he blasted over.But most frustratingly, this was the only game my wife, Jill, missed that season.It was an evening kick-off and she was running late getting home from work. I told her it was going to be a tough game against top-of-the-table Southampton, so she stayed at home instead.Another funny footnote is that back then we only mainly played with one match ball and it had been kicked out of the ground during the second half.The local paper organised a campaign to try to find it and get it back to me and sure enough it was found about ten days later!I scored 28 goals for Ipswich that season, in all competitions, and I vividly remember four days after hitting these five goals I scored one of the best goals of my career in a 2-0 victory at Leeds.When you look at the league table, both ourselves and Liverpool were sixth and seventh but we had games in hand on all the teams above us.We went on a great run picking up 13 wins between this game and the end of the season, yet were still overtaken by Liverpool. They went unbeaten in their last 15, picking up 41 out of possible 45 points. They were an incredible side.It was the second successive season where we finished runners-up, having been just pipped to top spot by Aston Villa, a side in which Gary Shaw played such a huge part with 18 league goals.Gary Shaw passed away aged 63 earlier this weekCredit: RexI was devastated to have to talk about his passing this week at just 63 years of age. He was an outstanding goalscorer.It’s mad to think this game was over 42 years ago, but then I have been presenting at talkSPORT for 25 years.I was reliably informed the day after this five-goal haul, Saints’ manager Lawrie McMenemy got in touch with Scotland manager Jock Stein and told him that I should be part of his World Cup squad for the finals in Spain.As a result I was called up and was the youngest member of the squad. It remains one of my proudest moments to have kicked off Scotland’s finals campaign against New Zealand — a 5-2 victory in Malaga.Talking of pride, the wonderful story of Ipswich climbing from League One back to the Premier League this season is brilliant for my old club and its fans.The next greatest achievement for manager Kieran McKenna and the squad is to stay in the top flight. Anything 17th or above will feel like a trophy-winning campaign for me.READ MORE SUN STORIESI have such a huge affiliation to the club having started my career and spent seven unforgettable years at Portman Road.I still live between Ipswich and Colchester and to see the buzz in the area, with banners and the feel-good factor from McKenna and the club, has brought all the memories flooding back of our golden era.Brazil reckons Kieran McKenna can bring the glory days back to IpswichCredit: Getty More
