FORMER Forest Green striker Kayode Odejayi believes that Cheltenham Town have what it takes to spring possibly one of the greatest FA Cup shocks when Premiership giants Newcastle United come to Whaddon Road on Saturday (12.30 pm).
Odejayi, 24, hit the winner in the third round replay victory over Chester City last week, to set up the mouth-watering clash with Newcastle.
The Nigerian-born striker said: "It was my greatest moment in football. I don't score many with my left-foot so it was a sweet moment."
The BBC televised clash will earn Cheltenham a £250,000 pay day. The Robins will certainly be confident of clipping the wings of the Magpies.
Graeme Souness' side are spiralling close to the Premiership drop- zone. Defeat could spell the end for Souness; his cause will again be hampered by injury.
England stars Michael Owen, Scott Parker, Kieron Dyer will be missing along with Craig Moore, Shola Ameobi, Steven Taylor and Stephen Carr. Newcastle legend Alan Shearer will captain the side against John Ward's team.
Odejayi added: "Newcastle will be tough, but with the FA Cup anything can happen."
