BARRY HAYLES has played and scored at Wembley – but that isn’t stopping the evergreen striker from dreaming of getting there with Windsor in the FA Vase.
The 45-year-old former Bristol Rovers and Fulham striker knows the Hellenic Premier side are a way off from reaching the hallowed turf.
But an 8-0 win in the second round qualifying against Whitchurch United has at least taken them one step closer.
Now the Royalists have been drawn against Flackwell Heath in the first round of the national competition.
“It’s a massive competition,” Hayles told The NLP. “You get to play at Wembley in the final! We’re quietly going about our business.
Brilliant
“When it comes along we treat it with the upmost respect, but we know it’s a long road. First and foremost we want to do well in the league and cup games take care of themselves.
