FA Cup third round: Inside non-league Marine before their tie with Tottenham

At non-league Marine they are not just rolling out the red carpet for Tottenham's FA Cup visit, they're also bringing in the carpet cleaners.

Paul Leary, chairman of the club that plays in the eighth tier of English football, is determined the boardroom floor at the Marine Travel Arena is spotless for Sunday's third-round tie with the eight-time winners.

While Spurs, fourth in the Premier League, can call on the services of World Cup winner Hugo Lloris and England captain Harry Kane if needed, Northern Premier League Division One North West Marine will feature NHS workers, teachers and a refuse collector.
