Barry from Eastenders is a famous fan of Sheppey United

Bradshaw has an excellent track record in non-league and has propelled himself to the legendary status at Sheppey United with 133 goals for the club.

His goal helped Sheppey to secure a 1-1 draw in the previous round, as the Ites booked their place in the FA Cup first round for the first time in their history via a penalty shootout.

FA Cup fever has consumed the Isle of Sheppey, and they even have their very own celebrity fan in the shape of Shaun Williamson (AKA Barry Evans from EastEnders).

However, Tom won’t be able to make the trip to Holm Park with Millwall preparing to face Southampton at The Den on Saturday.

But the Wales international will be watching on TV, and understandably admitted that family comes first.
