Twelve-time winners Manchester United help kick off the FA Cup fourth-round weekend when they host Middlesbrough on Friday night, but is their name on the famous old trophy again this year?
Mist grew up in Birmingham but became a United fan after trying to emulate one of their most famous strike partnerships, Treble-winners Dwight Yorke and Andrew Cole.
"They were my favourite players when I was growing up," he quoted. "That was my era and I was a striker as well. I had a mate who I was very close to who I played up front with and we just tried to link up like they did.
"That's what got me into United and from there it just kept on going with different players - then we all wanted to take a free-kick like David Beckham.
"The 1999 Champions League final is probably my favourite moment as a United fan. I still remember my nerves watching it. That's where football is good, because it gives you so many great memories from different times in your life.

"The FA Cup that year was the same - the Ryan Giggs solo goal against Arsenal in the semi-final was another of those moments you can tell people about years later.
"It feels like all I ever tell youngsters these days is that we used to be that good, and that they should have been there back in the day!
"It is harder to be a United fan these days, and sometimes this season I've watched and wondered exactly what is going on, with some of the teams we've lost to.
"But we all go through ups and downs in life and this is just part of that. It feels like there is a better balance to United now, so things are looking up.
"And of course we can win the FA Cup. You know how it gets - we can always pull it out of the bag!"
