Lincoln FA Cup hero Raggett wants Arsenal in quarter-final

Sean Raggett is hoping Lincoln City can meet Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-final.

The National League side continued their remarkable run to the final eight off the famous cup competition by beating Burnley 1-0 on Saturday and will next face either the

Gunners or fellow non-league outfit Sutton United.

Raggett, who scored the sublime winner for the Imps at Turf Moor, wants boyhood club Arsenal to get the better of Sutton at Gander Green Lane tonight so Lincoln can face the

Premier League giants at the Emirates Stadium.

"It's true that I have never been to watch Arsenal because I was with Gillingham as a kid and then since I was 16, I've been playing football every Saturday," said Raggett.

"To play against them would be unbelievable.

"Imagine, the first time I see them live in person is when I am playing against them. It would be incredible."
