The garbage collector who tonight appears against Tottenham at the FA Cup

National league teams are looking forward to the FA Cup matches and today (day) by 5 o'clock, all eyes are directed to eighth-level AFC Marine, which wait for Tottenham Hotspur in the 3/32rd round.

Every year there are always strange and wonderful stories of players playing at the lowest levels, and in 2021 it is not different.

This time it's about the history of Marine midfielder James Barrigan, who is a garbage collector for the week and a footballer at the weekend.

The 22-year-old works as a garbage collector for Liverpool Street Services and regularly walks 30,000 steps during his daily tasks.

Today, however, former Wigan Athletic player will seek to cause a monumentic concern and to remove Jose Mourinho and Spurs out of the race.

I think my job has helped me keep my enthusiasm after it keeps my mind off the football team, but besides that I would say I'm so well prepared mentally”, Barrigan first told Liverpool Express.

It's crazy when you're thinking about playing against these players because you watch them weeks a week and then the next thing you want to go against them really!

For balancing the collection of waste baskets and hitting a ball on the field, he added: “It's very easy to do two jobs because my beginnings for work are very early and the training for Marines is in the evening”.

It may be difficult because it's very challenging and exhausting, but my motivation must definitely be my 1-year-old daughter, since everything I do is for him”, the Marine midfielder concluded.
