Stevenage goalkeeper Chris Day is looking forward to make his first professional appearance at White Hart Lane- 21 years after signing for Tottenham.

The 36-year-old came through the ranks at the north London club with his only appearances coming in the Intertoto Cup, a competition Spurs played their home matches at Brighton’s Goldstone Ground.

The stopper will finally get his opportunity after Stevenage earned a goalless draw with Tottenham in Saturday’s FA Cup fifth round clash.

“The replay will be my first competitive game there,” Day said.

“The last time I played there will have been in an FA Cup youth game of some description, because we played our reserve games at St Albans.

“I remember being a schoolboy training at White Hart Lane and our coach used to send us on a lap around the pitch after training and he would say, ‘one day you will play here’. Who would have thought that that day would come 21 years later?

“I have waited a long time to have a game like this. There is nothing better than playing under floodlights for a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.”

Day joined Stevenage in 2008 from Millwall and has made 157 appearances.
