Watch: Aveley chief executive screams at FA Trophy draw as they land Notts County clash

Aveley chief executive Craig Johnson screamed with delight at  landing Notts County in the FA Trophy - and his  reaction was caught on camera.

In a video posted on the club's Twitter feed, Johnson lets out a massive roar after hearing Aveley are pulled  out of the hat to face the Magpies as he listens to the draw on Talksport.

The part-time club, who play in step four of the National League pyramid, are relishing their trip to the Magpies and will go into the game as huge underdogs.

But they have shown they are not to be underestimated having booked their place in the last 16 with a victory over National League South side Chelmsford at the weekend.

And writing on his Twitter account Johnson cannot wait for their trip to Meadow Lane to face the oldest professional club in the world.

"Dare to dream @AveleyFC," he wrote.

"We got it eventually. Millers making History ....so so pleased for everyone that has past and present supported this club of ours.

"Saturday   February 29,  let's  leave the village and make some noise at Notts County - here we come."
