Hello and welcome to the latest edition of my weekly blog.
This week I’m looking at part one of a fantasy FA Cup run.
We’re drawn away at “the biggest non-league club there ever was” FC Halifax in the Second Qualifying Round.
A hat trick in the last ten minutes from former Shayman James Walshaw eases us in to the next stage.
The coach load of Guiseley supporters celebrate by offering a signed photo of Wally to the home fans but they fiercely reject our present.
The Third Qualifying Round sees us in front of our home support in the usual tie with Stalybridge.
This game’s a thriller. We find ourselves 3-0 down at half time but a sterling team talk from Kitty brings a double from Simon Ainge, a Dave Merris wonder strike and a Walshaw thunderbolt.
The fans are delirious afterwards and James Marshall heads down the tunnel to congratulate the lads on an amazing victory.
The Lions are chuffed when Trigger from Soccer AM draws us at York City in the Fourth Qualifying Round.
Supporters travel in massive numbers down the road to Bootham Crescent for a hotly anticipated match.
Former Misterman Dave Merris converts a last minute penalty after a foul on fellow York starlet Gavin Rothery to send the away support in to raptures.
Graham Wild faces FA punishment after running on to the pitch to celebrate but finding himself in a fight with Yorkie the Lion.
Entering the First Round Proper for the second time in two seasons we take on Bradford City in another local battle at Valley Parade.
James Hanson’s men are yet again struggling at the bottom of League Two and we are tipped for an upset.
We take an early lead through ex City ace Simon Ainge before fellow former Bradford star Danny Ellis hits a stunning 30 yard volley the other side of half time.
We hear Chris Kamara on his microphone telling Jeff Stelling it’s “Unbelievable Jeff” at the top of the stands.
James Marshall can be heard shouting “Chris, Chris Chris!” in the back ground while Paul McGreavey leads “Guiseley, Guiseley, Guiseley!” chants.
Later that night Adam Hodgson is photographed in Bradford city centre wearing an Everton shirt.
Now in uncharted waters, we are yet again drawn away in a money spinning tie at Sheffield United in the Second Round Proper.
The game is thrilling, we twice pull back a one goal deficit through Gavin Rothery strikes before he caps a Man of the Match display with a hat trick winner in the 75th minute.
Danny Wilson is visibly stunned but his team applaud the fans and scores of travelling supporters at the final whistle.
Fans are delirious to wake up the next day and find we are in a televised match with an early Saturday kick-off at Anfield in the Third Round.
The players stay overnight at the Hilton Hotel Liverpool while fans prepare for the early departure from the Station pub.
The start is stunning; both Luis Suarez and Martin Skrtel are dismissed by Howard Webb for their part in a brawl with James Walshaw on 5 minutes.
With the opposition down to nine men we pick up the pace and Andy Holdsworth hits two brilliant free kicks to send the fans in to dreamland.
At half time Kitty tells Martin Tyler we have to be sensible while an irate Kenny Dalglish is sent to the stands for arguing with Chris Holland in front of the television cameras.
Fired up, Holland puts himself on, scores a header and celebrates in front of Dalglish before substitute Joe O’Neill hits two in two minutes to put us 5-0 up.
Evertonians John Bridson and yeadoner are witnessed holding an Everton flag up outside the Anfield gates following a Scouse celebration meal at Maggie Mays café after the match.
That’s it for this week folks.
Next time I will continue our fantasy FA Cup run.
