Latics boss John Sheridan's brother Darren will step into a Premier League dugout when he takes brave Barrow to Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium in the FA Cup Third Round.

Shez junior's side blasted away Brentford in the Second Round on Friday night, winning 2-1 at Holker Street courtesy of goals from David Brown and Matt Henney.

Ex-Latic Michael Pearson played in the game, while former Athletic trainee Ashley Winn was amongst the substitutes.

Now Barrow will get a crack at top-level opposition on January 3.  Sheridan has a Premier League pedigree himself, having played in the top level with Barnsley in the late Nineties.
