Former Brazilian star Socrates

His strike set Cheltenham on their way to uncharted territory after they had previously failed to progress beyond the third round.

Milton admitted: "It's the greatest day in the club's history.

"It's a great achievement to beat a side like Burnley.

"We knew we had to get after them straight away, which we did, and then just held out after getting the goals.

"And I'll be ringing Socrates later to tell him!"

He grabbed the first goal for the Robins with a low, skimming free-kick.

"As soon as we were awarded the free-kick I fancied it and I caught their goalkeeper a bit cold, too.

"When the five minutes extra time came up, I thought, 'Oh no, here we go,' but we held on."

Milton has seen plenty of excitement in a career that began at Highbury and has taken him across to Hong Kong, Japan and China.

Robins boss Steve Cotterill said: "They put us under a fair bit of pressure in the latter part of the game and my heart stopped when five minutes extra time went up.

"But we suffered it and weathered the storm."

I've got no excuses, we were miles away from how we can perform
