PRESTON hitman Will Keane did not have to look far for FA Cup inspiration.
Keane’s father-in-law is former Everton and Burnley striker Adrian Heath, who famously won the competition in 1984 when the Toffees beat Watford 2-0 in front of 100,000 at Wembley.

“I’ve definitely heard a couple of times from him (Adrian) about winning the FA Cup,” said Keane, whose partner is Heath’s daughter Megan.
