Video: Magic of FA Cup
Monday 2nd October 2006, 1:05PM BST.
Chasetown manager Charlie Blakemore and his team allowed our cameras to follow them from their pre-match meal through to the final whistle.
Our reporters accompanied the players through their journey to the ground and the final preparations before Saturday’s kick-off.
While they may not have the salaries of Thierry Henry or Rio Ferdinand, fans will admire their enthusiasm for the game.
All football fans will be fascinated to watch Blakemore’s pre-match team talk in the dressing room.
It was a rare privilege for a manager to allow cameras in to record his final message for his players before they compete in one of the biggest games of their season.
“I want your heart filling your ribcage today,” he tells his players.
Also featured are Halesowen manager Paul Holleran and his players, who are out to prevent Chasetown progressing to the next round.
Watch all four sections of the film to get a fascinating insight into the long road to Wembley (or possibly Cardiff again, if Wembley remains unfinished).
