THERE will be an FA Cup winner in both managerial camps when Salisbury City do battle with Fisher Athletic in the fourth qualifying round at Champion Hill tomorrow.
Salisbury boss Nick Holmes famously lifted the trophy with Saints in 1976 and, 15 years later, it was the turn of his Fisher counterpart Justin Edinburgh to savour Wembley win with Spurs.
Edinburgh, who played over 300 times for Tottenham and finished his playing career at Portsmouth, is confident ahead of tomorrow's all-Conference South clash.
Fisher have climbed to fourth, four points and two places behind Salisbury with a game in hand, and the teams are joint second behind Welling in the current form chart.
Edinburgh said: "I fancy us against anyone at the minute.
"My players know what's at stake in this game. I won't have to motivate the boys for this one. You would take a home draw and we've got that. We're turning Champion Hill into a fortress and we fear no one.
"There's no doubting Salisbury are a tough side but they are missing key players and my team will be strong.
"These Fisher players are a joy to manage. We're in great form playing at a high tempo and we've got an abundance of talented individuals."
While Salisbury duo Matt Tubbs and Paul Sales are widely regarded as one of the most potent frontline pairings around, the Fish have two awesome attackers of their own.
Goal machine Steve Watts, who made over 150 appearances for Leyton Orient, struck 37 times for Fisher last season, gaining the Ryman player-of-the-year award in the process.
He is partnered by former QPR powerhouse Leroy Griffiths, who joined Fish in the summer of 2005.
Salisbury boss Holmes said: "The reports we've had back on Watts and Griffiths have all been very favourable. There's no denying they're a good side.
"But we have an idea of their strengths and weaknesses and we know what we're doing.
"They won't be any better organised than Braintree were under George Borg when we played them last week."
Tomorrow's winners receive £10,000 from the FA prize fund, but it's the prospect of a money-spinning tie in the first round that will spur them on.
Three years ago Salisbury hit the jackpot with a first round trip to Sheffield Wednesday.
"The carrot on the end of this is massive financially," said Holmes.
"The thought of being in the hat for the first round proper is a great thing - and I never imagined I'd be saying that back in 1976!" he laughed.
"The only thing I knew about the involvement of the non-league clubs in those days was that one of national newspapers used to follow a team from the extra preliminary round and I used to think: Who the hell are they?!' "I never thought I'd be part of it one day."
