Ebbsfleet United midfielder Stacy Long would swap all of his goals this season for a match-winner in the FA Trophy final.

The 23-year-old cannot wait to grace the hallowed turf when the Fleet take on Torquay on Saturday.

He said: "Everyone is over the moon that we've got the chance to play there. I just hope we can put in a decent performance and get the result we want.

"It's something that every player has dreamed of. It's the most famous stadium in the world."

The former Charlton trainee finished as the club's top scorer with 17 goals and was honoured for the achievement after receiving the player of the season award.

"Saturday is a big occasion and is one of the biggest games in the club's history. I'm delighted to be part of that. I would trade all the goals I've scored this season to score at Wembley for Ebbsfleet."

He added: "All the players' family and friends want to come to the game and at this rate I think they'll make up around half the support!"
