Yeovil captain, Joe Edwards, revealed before the FA Cup 3rd round game that he is a Manchester United fan. His dad is from Manchester and had brought him up following United, with Edwards singling out Ryan Giggs’ goal against Arsenal as he all-time favourite.

After the game, Edwards got Wayne Rooney’s shirt, but revealed that a few of the players missed out.

A few of the boys didn’t manage to get their shirts after the game. But a few of the lads saw them in the tunnel and they asked one of the lads, who brought out all the actual shirts into the dressing room. Like I said they were a brilliant bunch of lads and from world class footballers to fellow professionals that’s what you’d expect but it was brilliant to see. We were fully professional and focused on the game beforehand. We knew we had to do a job and we didn’t want to be embarrassed or anything like that. We gave everything we had but just came up short. They are world class players and you can see the difference. But they were real nice guys. They all had time for us after the game and even during the game there was no nastiness going on. As a fan it’s brilliant for me to see top players can still be humble and appreciative.
