FA Cup predictions: Lawro v Sutton Utd hero Matthew Hanlan

  • Published
BBC Sport expert Mark Lawrenson

BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.

His opponent for selected ties on FA Cup third-round weekend is legendary giantkiller Matthew Hanlan, the bricklayer who scored the winner when non-league Sutton United famously shocked Coventry City in the FA Cup 25 years ago, in January 1989.

"They are fantastic memories. I have got the game and all the reaction to it on DVD but I don't watch it all that often these days," Hanlan told BBC Sport.

"Every so often, though, somebody will see my goal on YouTube and say something about how I looked then, and it all comes back. I always get a few phone calls from the media about it every January too."
