History on Bucks' side - Joseph

Antone Joseph
Antone Joseph won the FA Trophy with Telford United in 1983.

Former Telford United player Antone Joseph believes the Bucks will repeat history by coming from 2-0 down to beat York in the FA Trophy semi-final.

Joseph played in the 1983 side which beat Harrow at the semi-final stage after being 2-0 down.

"We ended up a third goal down, we battled away and won the tie and it was the best feeling ever," he told BBC Radio Shropshire.

"Even at 3-0 down at Harrow we still believed we were going to win."

Telford United went on to beat Northwich Victoria 2-0 at Wembley. United still hold the FA Trophy record for reaching the final five times and winning the title on three occasions.

Joseph and Sean Parrish took temporary charge of AFC Telford United after Bernard McNally's departure in February 2006.

Now Joseph thinks the time is right to add a new chapter to the history books.

"I think the pressure is on York," he said. "They'll be thinking they're half way to Wembley. If Telford can put some pressure on them and stop them playing and sneak a goal, they can turn them over."
