Burnley's Sean Dyche has no regrets over FA Cup near-miss

Twenty years on from one of the most memorable FA Cup semifinals, Sean Dyche insists he has no regrets over the near-miss that cost him the chance of leading Chesterfield out at Wembley.

Tuesday night's third-round replay between Dyche's Burnley and David Moyes' Sunderland at Turf Moor is unlikely to reach the heights of the stunning 3-3 draw between the Spireites and Middlesbrough at Old Trafford in 1997.

Dyche scored a penalty to help his side claim an early two-goal advantage and Chesterfield - bidding to become the first third-tier side to reach the final - led 2-1 with 21 minutes to go when Jonathan Howard's effort was wrongly ruled to have not crossed the line.
