Poppies dream of Old Trafford tie
Kettering's Lee Harper vowed that his team would give it their "best shot" in their potential FA Cup tie with Manchester United.
Blue Square Premier side Kettering must knock out Coca-Cola League One leaders Leeds first, after the two teams drew 1-1 at Rockingham Road this afternoon.
"It will be really hard but we will give it our best shot," said Harper.
"The club is in a bit of trouble at the moment, it is difficult for us financially but we will go to Elland Road, try to have a great time and see where it gets us."
The lure of facing the reigning Barclays Premier League champions at Old Trafford is an upturn in fortune for the Poppies, who face being turfed out of their home in the next three years.
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Harper has never played at Old Trafford although he has been there as an unused substitute.
