""It's obviously going to be a very tough game, Grimsby are a very good side and it's away at their place, it's always difficult when you're travelling away but we'll be hoping to cause an upset and hopefully in the next round get a big tie," Britton told BBC Points West. "That's what dreams are made of, it would be nice to grab another couple of goals on Saturday.""
""My phone hasn't stopped since that day I don't think," he added. "When I'm shopping and people say I've seen your goal on the TV it's a nice feeling.""
""Luckily when I got released from Bristol City I had this [painting] to drop back to, my plan B, so I'm thankful for that," he said. "It's pretty flexible, that's one of the main reasons why I do it. Being a part-time footballer you need to be quite flexible especially"
Weston-super-Mare beat Chelmsford Town 2-0 to reach the FA Cup third round for the first time in their 138-year history, with Louis Britton scoring both goals. The National League South side will travel to League Two Grimsby Town for the third-round tie. Britton, 24, has scored 19 times this season, volleying to open the scoring before converting a close-range finish. He joined Bristol City as a teenager in 2019, scored on his Bristol City debut in 2021, was released in 2022, and played for Cork City, Yeovil, Maldon and Tiptree before signing for Weston last spring. Britton balances part-time football with full-time work as a painter and decorator and also coaches children.
