Stein hoping Crawley Town can setup Chelsea Cup clash

Former Chelsea striker Mark Stein is eyeing an FA Cup third round draw with his old club.

Stein aims to help non-League Crawley dump Swindon out of the FA Cup tonight - 16 years after playing in the final at Wembley.

Striker Stein, part of the Chelsea side beaten 4-0 by Manchester United in 1994, is now physio of the Blue Square Premier leaders.

Stein, 44, said: "The FA Cup is a fantastic competition and it was definitely the highlight of my career playing in the final.

"I was lucky enough to play at Wembley a few times, but I always believed the FA Cup was the best competition in the world.

"It's great to be involved again. I'd love to see Crawley get to the third round and pull out a Premier League team, maybe Chelsea."
