Hartlepool defender Michael Nelson is relishing the prospect of taking another Premier League scalp following Sunday's FA Cup draw.Pools were rewarded for their giant-killing victory over Stoke with a fourth-round home tie against West Ham and, after August's 3-1 win over West Brom in the League Cup, Turner admits his side no longer fear reputation.

"It's a great draw for us. Another Premiership side at the Vic which will mean a big crowd so it's fantastic news," Nelson told the club's official website.

"The lads will obviously go into the game quite confident having already beaten West Brom and Stoke this season and everyone's quite pleased.

"Seeing Foley's little face on the back of the papers is a bit surreal but it's all starting to sink in now and everyone's beginning to realise what a fantastic win it was for us."
