In 1995, a Millwall striker grabbed two goals at Goodison Park as the Lions turned over Everton 4-2.

That striker was Scott Taylor. Taylor is now 35, working as an electrician, and is in the Staines Town squad for the visit of his former side.

Taylor - who originally signed for the Lions from Staines - will face a Millwall team which is shorn of Nail Harris and Gary Alexander, while James Henry is ineligible due to the terms of his loan deal from Reading and Tony Craig is out for up to three weeks after his facial operation on Monday.

Jack Smith should be available to play for Millwall despite a knock in midweek, and Staines themselves have been keeping players under wraps to avoid bans in recent games. Howard Newton, Gareth Risbridger, Simon Jackson and Marien Ifura Jackson have all been held back to avoid crucial yellow cards.

The second round match kicks off at 1.30pm on Saturday.
