Droylsden hero salutes enjoyment

Tipton scored 61 goals in his Football League career

Droylsden goal hero Matthew Tipton has put his FA Cup success down to "more enjoyment" after knocking Darlington out in their first-round replay.

The ex-Macclesfield, Oldham and Bury striker scored the only goal to set up a second-round tie with Chesterfield.

The 28-year-old joined the Bloods from Hyde United last month.

He told BBC Radio Manchester: "I am best when I am enjoying my football. I spoke to the manager before the game he said the same."

Tipton continued: "He said he'd brought me to the club to play; he said: 'You're a good footballer, play the way you know and go out and enjoy it.'

"So I did. I was a bit more relaxed and obviously the chance came and I think you could see I was relaxed when I managed to put it in the back of the net.

"It's been fantastic. I've been here four or five weeks and it's not really happened for me. I've been trying a little bit hard and the goals haven't come. I've been a bit disappointed and after the weekend I had a long hard think to myself to get back to what I'm good at."
