Bristol Rovers talent dreaming of another giant killing after stunning Lincoln City in FA Cup

Bristol Rovers took care of business in the FA Cup on Saturday, advancing to the second round with a 1-0 win over Rochdale at the Mem. Meanwhile, two dozen miles east on the M4, another Gas player was involved in one of the shocks of the round as Chippenham Town beat League One Lincoln City.

Harvey Greenslade, an 18-year-old academy product from Chipping Sodbury who has spent more than 10 years with the Gas and signed his first professional contract earlier this year, is on loan at the National League South side until January.

And the forward played a big part, offering fresh legs up front after being subbed on after an hour at Hardenhuish Park. The Bluebirds were leading 1-0 thanks to an inspired backheel finish by Joe Hanks in the first half and with Greenslade and his teammates leaving everything they had on the pitch, the sixth-tier side kept a clean sheet and dumped out a side 78 places ahead of them in the pyramid.
