Magpies Take To Twitter To Find FA Cup Heroes!

The Vanarama National League North club yesterday sent out an SOS via twitter ahead of their first round clash with Fleetwood Town.

Chorley seem to be short of numbers and they a message on the social media site appealing for players.

“FA CUP | Wanted. Keeper and midfielder. Must be able to play against @ftfc in the #EmiratesFAcup #flymagpiesfly” read the tweet on Wednesday.

There could be a story in the making if a player responds and does something special - and former Blackburn Rovers star David Dunn has already been in touch.

But Chorley managed Matt Jansen gave him former Ewood Park pal the could shoulder... joking that his team needed a 90 minutes player - and not just a nine minute cameo!

Jansen’s team gear up for Fleetwood after a fine performance in Tuesday’s replay.

“The game had everything, to win the game with 10 men typifies everything about the character of the dressing room and how strong we have been the last couple of months,” he said.

“I’m so proud of every one of them, never say die, away from home, they deserve everything they have got. It was a massive team performance.”
