Cup draw thrills Kettering boss

Cooper led Kettering to the fourth round of the FA Cup last season

Kettering Town manager Mark Cooper says drawing Leeds United in the FA Cup second round is a bigger tie than the clash with Fulham last season.

The Poppies were drawn against Cooper's father Terry's former club following their win over Hartlepool on Saturday.

"Of course he'll want Leeds to win, won't he," he told BBC Radio Northampton. "No, he'll be coming to the game and he'll be cheering us on.

"It's a fantastic draw and it will be a fantastic occasion for the club."

Cooper added: "Leeds are one of the biggest clubs in the world - you look at their attendances and the following they get all over the world. It's mouthwatering."

Last season Kettering reached the fourth round of the FA Cup before being knocked out by Premier League Fulham.
