Jon Stead famously humbled Jose Mourinho's Chelsea while at Bradford City and now he's looking for another knockout with Notts County: 'Jose came straight in, shook me by the hand and said "big balls!"'

One of Jon Stead's career highlights came in an FA Cup tie that finished with Jose Mourinho praising the size of his cojones, so perhaps we should not be surprised he has some bold ideas on making such moments more beneficial for smaller teams.

Stead enjoyed a starring role in Bradford's stunning comeback victory against Chelsea three years ago and now the Notts County striker is aiming for another fourth round knockout against Premier League opposition when Swansea visit Meadow Lane. Just as in 2015, Stead has scored in each of the first three stages of the competition and hopes that represents something of an omen.
