Ever heard the one about the former Brazilian international agreeing to play for a non-league club for free in the biggest game in their history?
When former Tottenham midfielder Sandro was propositioned about playing for seventh-tier Harborough Town during a chance meeting in a pre-match hospitality suite, the Bees manager admits he did so jokingly.
Immediately, Sandro agreed. And yet Harborough boss and Spurs season-ticket holder Mitch Austin laughed in response, simply thinking he was being humoured.
"I thought, 'nah, he is just being nice' but then he didn't go away. He's still here," Austin recalled with a laugh.
