A much-travelled former FA Cup hero for Cambridge against Newcastle now has Crystal Palace in his sights
Subscribers to the theory that the FA Cup has lost its magic have clearly never met Joe Ironside. It is now more than three years since the Doncaster striker experienced one of the very best days of his life when he scored the winning goal for his former team Cambridge United in a wildly celebrated third-round upset at Newcastle.
“What a day, what a really special day,” says Ironside as he looks forward to Crystal Palace’s visit to South Yorkshire for Monday night’s fourth-round tie. “The celebrations afterwards are something I’m going to remember for a lifetime but, although my memories are all happy, the game itself is a bit of a blur. The one thing I can remember was the VAR check for offside after I’d scored. It was only about three minutes but it felt so long.”
