Tamworth star Tom Tonks serenaded his new-born son in their third-round FA Cup clash with Tottenham on Sunday.

The National League side pulled out all the stops for the best part of 101 minutes, before an extra-time own goal from Nathan Tshikuna handed Spurs a 1-0 lead.

Ange Postecoglou's men went on to take care of business, scoring two more through Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson before the final whistle blew.

Before the game, Tonks, 33, introduced his son to English football's oldest competition, lining up with him as his mascot.

Theo Owen David Tonks was born after Tamworth's first-round FA Cup win over Huddersfield, which saw them shock the League One side to win 1-0 at home.

Tonks, a businessman who owns a sandwich firm in Bilston, also boasts an astonishing long throw that causes defences all manner of problems.

He has been likened to Stoke cult hero Rory Delap, who was renowned for his notorious long throw in the late 2000s.

The long-running joke among the Tamworth playing group is that the midfielder was signed simply so that they no longer had to face the potent throw-in.

When he's not launching missiles into opposing boxes, Tonks is up at the crack of dawn delivering sandwiches from his van.

'They'll all be getting recovery massages and rub downs and everything,' he told ITV News of Spurs' preparations for the tie. 'And yeah, I'm out here in the cold delivering food.'
