'This run will stay with me'

Connor Roberts has revealed his pride at being a part of Swansea City’s historic run to the quarter-finals of the Emirates FA Cup.

Roberts has played a significant role in the cup since making his Swans debut in round three at Wolverhampton Wanderers, playing every minute in the run to the last eight.

Victories over Wolves, Notts County and Sheffield Wednesday have seen the Swans reach the last eight of the competition for the first time since 1964.

Now they face Tottenham Hotspur at the Liberty on Saturday (12.15pm) as they look to book a place in the semi-finals at Wembley next month.

The Spurs tie is expected to provide the toughest test in this competition for Carlos Carvalhal’s side, but Roberts is hopeful they can stand up to the challenge.

“It’s the first time in over 50 years that we’ve got to this stage of the competition,” he tells this weekend’s Jack Magazine. “And this run is something that will stay with me for a long time.

“I can always say that I was part of the team to do that.

“It’s going to be a really tough game. The boys have been working hard in training and we’ve been putting in decent performances.

“Hopefully, another one will come and anything can happen in the competition from there.”
