PAUL Cook would love to face former club Coventry City in the FA Cup.

Accrington Stanley will be on their way to Highfield Road on January 24 if they overcome Colchester United in their third round replay.

But Stanley midfielder Cook doesn't want to even think about a possible tie with the Sky Blues until after next week's match at Layer Road.

"It's great that we've been drawn against my old club," said Cook, who was still reeling from having his last gasp header against the U's saved on Saturday.

"I'm delighted because it would be a great day out for our fans.

"But I don't like looking ahead and we can't allow ourselves to because we have a very difficult game at Colchester next week.

"I really wish there wasn't a draw until the replays have been decided."

But the former Clarets star said he would relish the chance to lock horns with his former club, where he spent 18 months after signing from Wolverhampton Wanderers in August 1994.

"I've still got a lot of friends there," the 36-year-old said.
