In the article, Barnard talks about his love of the FA Cup - even though it led to the darkest day of his career.

It states, "Barnard, 33, helped Chelsea reach the 1994 final but was axed by player-boss Glenn Hoddle as they lost 4-0 to Manchester United. He also played as Barnsley dumped United out of the cup in 1998.

He said: “To be left out of the final squad was tough.

“You could only have three subs back then but, needless to say, Hoddle brought himself on. I won't forget that.

“I'm desperate to get Aldershot back into the League. Money from a cup run can change the club for ever.”
