TOMMY WIDDRINGTON plans to quickstep to FA Cup glory with the help of his sons Strictly dancer Kai and midfielder Theo.

The Geordie boss , who joined Southampton as a schoolboy with Alan Shearer, has revived National League North outfit King's Lynn Town since taking charge there 11 months ago.

After defeating League Two Doncaster in the first round, they host Stevenage today in front of up to 4,000 fans.

Popular BBC Strictly Come Dancing pro star Kai will be on the touchline cheering on his dad in the dugout, and brother Theo , 23, will be bossing the King's Lynn midfield.

It will be a proud family day for Widdrington, a veteran of 375 games over 15 years as a player with Saints, Grimsby, Port Vale, Hartlepool and Salisbury.

He went on to manage at Salisbury, Eastbourne and led recruitment at Coventry and Bristol Rovers at director level.
