Non-league hero back to the bar job after coming close to cup shock

Blyth Spartans captain Robbie Dale will head straight back to his bar job after coming so close to serving up another FA Cup fairytale for the non-league side against Championship Birmingham at Croft Park.

Dale scored twice in the first half to give his side a dream advantage before three goals in 12 minutes after the break helped Gary Rowett’s men narrowly avoid embarrassment.
