Boreham Wood fullback Kane Smith is excited facing Everton tonight in the FA Cup.
Smith is a lifelong Everton fan.
“I always wanted an Everton shirt as a kid and I got one, I had Cahill, but I always wanted Hibbert on the back," Smith told the London Evening Standard. “My old man would never buy me one. He said, 'No way, I'm not buying you a Tony Hibbert shirt!' So, when I saved up a bit of pocket money when I got older, that was one of the first things I bought.
“Then, when the draw happened, I said to my missus I'd have to take the shirt just in case we got through — I'll hide it in my bag, so if we get beat no one will see.
“When we won we were celebrating for ages and I saw my mates in the crowd who are Liverpool fans and it just clicked. It was my quickest sprint of the game, I think, running back to the dressing room to get the shirt!"
