Millwall's Andy Keogh is hoping to avoid a giantkilling against Luton Town in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off - and is drawing inspiration from Ryan Giggs to help him.

Conference Premier outfit Luton have been one of the stories of The Cup so far, having stunned Premier League side Norwich to reach the Fifth Round.

The Hatters became the first non-League team to knock a top-flight side out of The FA Cup since Sutton United in 1989 when they dumped out the Canaries last month.

And as striker Keogh reflects on his favourite Cup memory, he hopes to avoid becoming another Luton victim.

He told TheFA.com: "My favourite memory is definitely Ryan Giggs scoring that goal in 1999 against Arsenal. I am not a United fan but I was in the pub with my Mum and Dad watching.

"It would be nice to emulate that - especially in the last minute."

Millwall reached The Final against Giggs and Manchester United back in 2004 and although Keogh was not at the club at the time, he believes the south Londoners can use their run to the Millennium Stadium as inspiration.

"If we win this one we are into the last eight and then there's every chance of a Semi-Final. We have to use this opportunity.

"Luton are a very good team and they showed that in the previous round. We have to be fully focused and at our best to beat them.

"This is a very historic competition - all the greats have played in it. It would be great to get as far as we can."

The FA Cup Sixth Round draw takes place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon at 5.55pm. You can watch it live with us here on TheFA.com.
