Surely the visit of non-League Lincoln City in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup should offer Arsenal some much-needed respite? Wrong.
The last time the Imps beat the Gunners was in 1915 but for Lincoln manager Danny Cowley and his family it is a very different story.
Twenty-five years ago dad Steve, now 65, masterminded a 6-0 victory over an Arsenal youth team watched by George Graham at London Colney, with son Danny playing as left back.
Steve, along with former West Ham winger Mark Robson, managed Gidea Park Rangers, an Under 12s team from Romford in Essex's Hornchurch Echo League — which also produced the likes of Frank Lampard, John Terry and Jermain Defoe.
