Tamworth, a semi-professional team, faced Premier League Tottenham in the FA Cup, demonstrating unexpected skill and resilience, ultimately losing 3-0 but showcasing competitive spirit.
'Their manager [Ange Postecoglou] just said to me, 'that's good enough to get you in the door here,' said Hollis afterwards. 'I said, 'believe it or not, I've never done it before'. That's not my game, you'll never see that again.'
The game started with a delay due to a net malfunction as Beck-Ray Enoru had to tape a hole in the net, a moment that exemplified the unpredictability of football.
Tamworth's performance, with chances to win, matched Tottenham for much of the game, proving they could compete against a top-tier team.
