Cheltenham Town manager Michael Duff celebrated his 43rd birthday yesterday and was rewarded with his side being drawn at home to Premier League giants Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round.Duff – who made over 300 appearances for the Robins as a player – is a popular boss at Whaddon Road, where he has been manager since 2018.
Cheltenham are pushing for promotion in League Two – in fifth place – while Pep Guardiola’s Man City are fifth... in the Premier League.
The tie was first out of the “hat” drawn by Peter Crouch.
