IT'S FA Cup week this week and as ever, with our club being synonymous with 'giantkilling', our match at Harrow Borough is of considerable significance.

Of course, to get to the point where we can be giantkillers we have to get through to the stage where the league clubs are involved and to do that we have to win at places such as Harrow which will not be easy.

The smaller clubs had a lot to be grateful for after the efforts of former FA chief executive Adam Crozier. He worked hard to ensure a fairer distribution of revenue with £20,000 on offer to the winners of the early rounds and £100,000 for those clubs whose games were televised.

Now that he's gone, that money has been halved and although TV income has been reduced I suppose it's not surprising that it's been cut back in the early rounds.

I've had some great memories of the FA Cup - and some not so good ones - over the years.

As a rookie manager of just 33, taking Shrewsbury to the quarter-finals twice ranks high. The first time, there was a win against a star-studded Manchester City side and we took Wolves back to Gay Meadow for a replay after a draw at Molineux before we went out.

Since I've been at Edgar Street, we should have beaten Tottenham here after we missed a penalty on a wet and windy day when not many of the Spurs players wanted to know. But then they beat us out of sight at White Hart Lane.

The one we just missed out on was against Leicester - in the 1970s the great giantkilling act was Hereford beating Newcastle, in the 1980s it was Sutton United beating Coventry, and in the 1990s it should have been us again. It was just a coat of paint when Paul Parry hit the post here at Edgar Street and then we came within 12 minutes of beating them in the replay at Filbert Street.

On the downside, I was manager of the Wolves side which lost to Chorley in a second replay and then there was the tie against Newport, Isle of Wight here when the financial implications of losing might have been huge.

We were 2-0 up and coasting and I remember Ian Rodgerson going through with a great chance to make it three. Then they scored three goals and we were out. It was a great example of never taking anything for granted.
