The ex-Walsall striker had a four year spell at the Scholars Ground from 2007, scoring 57 goals in 180 appearances.

But the Lichfield boss will be hoping to go from hero to villain and spring an upset when Chasetown visit Brownsfield Park in October.

The tie will also see Scholars man Lewis Hayden revisiting Lichfield, where he had a spell last term.
