THE fantastic win by Wycombe Wanderers over Leicester City in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup last Saturday has gripped the town to such an extent that even members of the Asian community are basking in the afterglow of the Wanderers' finest hour and their historic win is being discussed like the state of the weather.

There are, of course, a lot of youngsters in the Asian community who not only enjoy watching football as a sport but follow teams and also play in various local clubs and indeed some of them are very good and talented players.

I was helping the wife with the weekly shopping in my normal supermarket at 5pm last Saturday when one of the store's staff came up to me and in great excitement told me that Wycombe had won.

Little did he know that I was going to watch Match of the Day and therefore did not wish to know the result, especially as realistically, like many others, I was only hoping for a draw at best.

I am sorry if my first reaction was not very understanding and referred to the young lad in undiplomatic terms for having spoiled my afternoon.

Luckily he did not know the score, so watching Wycombe Wanderers outthink, out-fight and eventually outmanoeuvre their Premiership hosts on Match of the Day was enjoyable indeed.

Wycombe have won nine out of nine games in the FA Cup this season and are only 90 minutes away from being the first team from their division to play in a FA Cup final.

Having seen Wycombe at Wembley in the FA Vase Final I am aware that the club can muster enormous support for big occasions and I am looking forward to travelling to Cardiff for the final in May, but before then let's not be too worried about Liverpool at Villa Park, as Wycombe have already helped to put the town on the map.
