Hats Off To Havant

26 Jan 2008 Liverpool 5-2 Havant & W'looville - FA Cup

BBC - Liverpool had to come from behind twice to beat Havant & Waterlooville and reach the FA Cup fifth round - Richard Pacquette's header put Havant ahead before Leiva Lucas equalised for Liverpool with a superb 25-yard curler. Alfie Potter restored the part-timers' lead with a deflected effort, but Yossi Benayoun made it 2-2 from 15 yards. Benayoun drove in just after the break and stroked home from a rebound to complete his hat-trick before Peter Crouch tapped in to make it 5-2.

"I had my eye on getting Steven Gerrard's shirt at the end of the match on Saturday - skipper's perk and all that - but I was beaten to it by "Harry" [Alfie] Potter. But I am a West Ham supporter and was delighted to come away with Javier Mascherano's shirt in the end."

"...my mind has been concentrated on getting back home in time for work on Monday morning. I have to be at Yeading at 9.30 to continue my other life, which is that of a football coach. And if I don't make it I will be in trouble. It's back to real life for everyone now, the bin man and the cabbie, the courier and the builder and the plumber. Anything you want done in your house we can get done. So if anybody needs any work done they should give us a call and we will get it sorted. "

"And when it comes to football we will have to take our minds off cup glory and concentrate on the Blue Square South. We have a play-off place to win and we have a backlog of matches to play, because of our cup run, which we need to win to get ourselves back up the table and challenging.
But whatever we're doing, either at work or playing non-league football, none of us will ever forget our unbelievable weekend in the north-west. And I just hope our supporters feel the same way."
