Oxford City defender Freddie Grant is relishing the chance to go up against one of his old friends in Jorge Grant when the non-leaguers face Notts County in the FA Cup on Saturday.
The National League South outfit overcame Colchester United in round one and will travel to Nottingham this weekend for the second-round tie against the Magpies.
βJorge grew up in Oxford, Iβm from Reading and we have a few mutual friends so as soon as the draw was made we were messaging each other,β Freddie told the Post.
βWe havenβt spoken about football in too much detail, though weβve talked about it being on television.
βItβs going to be a massive game for the both of us and I think heβs been playing on the right so we could come up against each other.
βWeβve got the same last name, itβs going to be fun. Itβll be the first time weβll play with names on the back of our shirts, so itβll be weird having Grant on the right wing and Grant at left-back, so thatβll be confusing for the commentators!
