AFC Totton made history – in more ways than one – as they blitzed Bradford Park Avenue 8-1 in a truly remarkable FA Cup tie at the Testwood Stadium this afternoon.

Not only are the Stags through to the second round proper for the first time in their 125-year history, but they are the first post-War non-League side to have scored eight goals beyond the competition’s qualifying rounds.

To put the icing on the celebration cake, Totton were cheered on by a club record crowd of 2,315 which dwarfed the previous best attendance of 1,746 set for a Saints friendly at their old Testwood Park ground in 2009.
