The FA Cup

Tottenham Hotspur and England winger Andros Townsend was one of the guests for The FA Cup with Budweiser Fifth Round draw on Sunday.

Continuing the family theme this season, Andros was joined at Wembley Stadium by his dad, Troy, for the draw which was broadcast on TheFA.com and ITV at 5.35pm, following the Chelsea v Stoke City tie.

The 22-year-old could only watch on from the sidelines as his Tottenham team went out of The Cup at the hands of north London rivals Arsenal in the Third Round.

Andros’s goal against Montenegro was voted fans best in qualifying

Townsend, who has missed the last month through injury, previously enjoyed a four-year spell out on loan with several Football League clubs before breaking into the Spurs first-team squad.

He then scored on his England debut in the 4-1 win over Montenegro last October.

That strike was also voted by fans as the best Three Lions strike in their successful qualifying campaign for Brazil 2014.
