Rocky Baptiste and skipper Jamie Collins scored after Gary Monk's own goal, then Guillem Bauza and Jason Scotland clawed Swansea back into it but Tom Jordan settled the tie for the Blue Square South side - who will head to Anfield on January 26.

Boyhood Liverpool fan Gale said: "We have turned the dream into reality. I wanted focus from my team and they showed me that all over the pitch. It is a fantastic result. I am just so pleased for everyone involved in this football club."

He added: "It is unbelievable, dream stuff to reach the fourth round of the FA Cup.

"I would not have believed this would have ever happened a couple of months ago but that's football."

Gale felt Swansea had paid the price for underestimating a side ranked 83 places below them.

He said: "Swansea played their strongest side but they underestimated us.

"We worked on our set pieces and they could not handle them.

"We could have folded after they got their second goal but we dug deep."

Swansea boss Roberto Martinez declined to speak to the media after the game.
