Southend United skipper Kevin Maher is dreaming of a return to Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Shrimpers midfielder netted a screaming 25 yard shot and was later joined on the score-sheet by Lee Bradbury as Steve Tilson's side secured a comfortable 2-0 replay win at Barnsley.
And Maher, who started his career at White Hart Lane, now hopes to see Spurs beat Cardiff City this evening to set up his dream tie.
"It would be great to go back to Spurs again," said Maher, whose side faced the London giants just three weeks ago in the Carling Cup.
"They're the Premiership club and it's where I started my career as well so it would be nice if they won their game tonight but whatever happens we will take."
Spurs face Cardiff City tonight in their replay at White Hart Lane.
