Curzon boss Craig wants more magic moments in cup
MEN on Sunday
|November 03, 2024
EVEN guiding his team to a shock victory over Mansfield would be unlikely to usurp Craig Mahon's favourite FA Cup memory.
Mahon is player-manager of in-form National League North side Curzon Ashton, who take on League One high-fliers Mansfield at Tameside Stadium today in one of the matches of the first round.
A decade ago, the Irishman had two unforgettable days when he dashed from hospital to pitch and back again for a special FA Cup upset.
Mahon said: "On November 7th I had twin boys and on November 8th I played against Southend for Chester and scored the winning goal.
I drove down after my twins were born, scored the goal then drove back to the hospital.
"I tell them about it all the time and now they're coming to watch me, it's like a full circle. It's a special moment for myself and my family.
