Morecambe captain Anthony O'Connor insists they go to FA Cup opponents Tottenham today to win.

Indeed, O'Connor has warned his Morecambe team-mates that there will be punishments handed out if any of them go looking for souvenirs and selfies from their big-name rivals.

"I said to the lads in the dressing room the other day that anyone who is going around sniffing for a shirt of one of the Spurs players will be fined," he told the Sunday World.

"Some people have a different mentality and they might they can ask for a shirt if they are marking one of Tottenham's big names, but I just can't do that.

"It is a bad attitude to go into a game thinking about what shirt you might get at the end of it. That almost feels like you are admitting you are there for the day out.

"I'm looking at this game in a different way. Yes, I'm looking forward to playing at this great Tottenham stadium, but my message to all the players is this is just another game. Don't treat it any differently.

"The FA Cup throws up games like this and you have to try and enjoy them, but my attitude has always been I'll only enjoy it if we perform well and get a good result."
