Hartlepool United: Marlon Harewood savours FA Cup memories

Striker Marlon Harewood once fired West Ham United to an FA Cup final, but now his focus is on steering current club Hartlepool United past first round opponents East Thurrock United.

Harewood, 35, was a key player in Alan Pardew's Hammers side that lost a thrilling final to Liverpool in 2006, having edged out Middlesbrough in the semi-finals with a thumping strike.

Now one of Hartlepool's more senior players, the former Nottingham Forest forward is keen to help the younger players at Victoria Park enjoy similar memories in the competition.
