Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta’s influence on becoming a manager and the key to breaking into Arsenal

Some more reading for you about new Luton boss Jack Wilshere, who takes up his first FA Cup charge next month. He sat down with our chief football writer Miguel Delaney in March to discuss Mikel Arteta’s influence on his career and his coaching journey.

Just two years ago, Wilshere wasn’t even sure he wanted to go into coaching, but watching Arteta in action means the former Arsenal and England player is now adamant.

Maldon and Tiptree, FA Cup remaining players

There is only one team left in the eighth tier of the FA Cup this season and that is Essex-based team Maldon & Tiptree.

The brilliantly nicknamed Jammers are the current leaders of the Isthmian League North Division and beat Flackwell Heath 1-0 at the weekend to reach this level.

The scorer of that goal was former West Ham striker Freddy Sears, now 35, as he turned Courtney Senior’s cross with his head at the near post after half an hour.

They are the only team in the first round to have played in every round since the extra-preliminary round and have won six games to reach this stage.

,[This win is] Massive,” said Kevin Horlock, owner of Malden and Tiptree. “It was something we set out to do. The owners have come in and have spent a lot of time and money on this football club and they want to talk about it appropriately. So, the goal was to reach the first round. We have achieved that. And now we want to go further.

Who has the EFL heavyweights?

The FA Cup first round draw is particularly notable as it sees some of the biggest hitters from League One and League Two – many of whom have Premier League experience – enter the competition alongside players lower down the pyramid.

Highlights from the draw

Maldon and Tiptree were always going to be the focus of this draw – they are still the lowest-ranked team in the competition, playing their football in the English eighth tier. They will visit League One side Port Vale in a huge FA Cup test.

Elsewhere, Macclesfield will host AFC Totton or Truro City – notable for the fact that club part-owner Robbie Savage was in the studio when it was drawn out. It seems as if he would prefer to avoid a trial with the Cornish side, who play their football in the National League.

Apart from the actual matches, Michail Antonio received backlash from youngsters attending Worthing FC – where the draw was held – for creating a ’67’ meme while pulling out Slough Town, aka Ball 67. I still don’t understand it.
