(Reuters) - Stevenage boss Steve Evans said their 2-1 FA Cup upset of Aston Villa on Sunday is a tale he will tell his grandchildren for years after his fourth-tier club knocked out the Premier League side in the third round.
Villa were leading 1-0 at home until the 88th minute when Jamie Reid converted a penalty to equalise before Dean Campbell grabbed a 90th-minute winner to pull off the shock of the weekend.
"I've got grandkids, little Joseph, James and Mimi will be hearing about it in the next few years," Evans said. "It's magical for the players, the chairman and for the town of Stevenage to see over 3,000 fans and winning the way we did. It's the FA Cup and what dreams are made of."
