ADAM Proudlock fired Stockport into the FA Cup third round with a double to dump League Two high-flyers Wycombe.

The former Wolves striker, still turning out for Jim Gannon's side on a non-contract basis, scored from the spot to drag his team back into the tie and then, with 14 minutes left, swept home the winner to leave County fans dreaming of one of the big boys.

The County fans' glee was complete in the fourth minute of injury time when their former player Jermaine Easter, who put his side ahead in the first half, blazed over the bar from six yards with a replay beckoning.

Perhaps the stirring comeback was inspired by the presence in the crowd of former Edgeley Park hero Andy Preece, who scored a glorious winner the last time County claimed a big scalp in this competition, against Premiership side Queen's Park Rangers in 1993.

But it was a win that proved the growing maturity of Gannon's collection of feisty youngsters and raw loan players, after they had fallen behind to a goal from former player Jermaine Easter in the first half.

County had their chances in that half, Proudlock turning a shot across the face of goal when Tes Bramble and David Poole had fashioned an opening from nothing.

They paid for such profligacy on 34 minutes when the visitors kept it simple - a pass to Kevin Betsy on the right, measured cross and textbook header from Easter.

Proudlock squandered another chance but on 41 minutes it was his invention which led to the equaliser. A neat pass inside Russell Martin found Poole racing through on goal and the defender desperately tripped the winger from behind.

Proudlock slotted his spot kick in the corner.
