Andros and Troy Townsend to make FA Cup draw on Sunday

Friday 24 Jan 2014
Andros Townsend scored on his England debut and will make Sunday's Cup draw

Tottenham Hotspur and England winger Andros Townsend will be one of the guests for The FA Cup with Budweiser Fifth Round draw on Sunday.

Continuing the family theme this season, Andros will be joined at Wembley Stadium by his dad, Troy, for the draw which will be broadcast on TheFA.com and ITV at 5.35pm, following the Chelsea v Stoke City tie.

The 22-year-old could only watch on from the sidelines as his Tottenham team went out of The Cup at the hands of north London rivals Arsenal in the Third Round.

Andros's goal against Montenegro was voted fans best in qualifying

 

Townsend, who has missed the last month through injury, previously enjoyed a four-year spell out on loan with several Football League clubs before breaking into the Spurs first-team squad. 

He then scored on his England debut in the 4-1 win over Montenegro last October.

That strike was also voted by fans as the best Three Lions strike in their successful qualifying campaign for Brazil 2014.
