BBC World Service - Sportshour, FA Cup third round - Magic, heroes and upsets

We speak to the chairman of the lowest ranked team left in the competition, AFC Fylde.

This weekend on Sportshour we preview the FA Cup third round. It is a weekend for heroes and villains, giant killings and upsets and the little clubs putting one over on the big boys. One club which will be hoping to do just that is AFC Fylde who are in the fifth division of English football; they play Premier League high-flyers Sheffield United and we speak to their chairman about their hopes in the competition.

This weekend all of the FA Cup ties will be delayed by one minute to encourage fans to ‘Take A Minute’ to think about looking after their mental health, as part of the Heads Up campaign. We speak to former Premier League footballer Marvin Sordell who retired last season citing mental health reasons about why this campaign is so important.

We remember the former head of US Basketball, David Stern, who died this week at the age of 77. Stern was the NBA's commissioner for 30 years and was also credited with launching a women's NBA, advancing the rights for black players and helping to change attitudes to HIV. We speak to sportswriter Erica Ayala.


Plus it is also a huge weekend in the NFL as wildcard weekend begins. Caroline Barker is joined by former NFL player Jason Bell and former CEO of the Oakland Raiders Amy Trask. They give us their perspectives of what goes through the players, coaches and backroom staffs mind in the build up to the Super Bowl.
