BEAST PUTS BITE ON GUS
Wrexham defender Mark 'The Beast' Creighton wants to frighten the life out of FA Cup hosts Brighton tomorrow.
The Conference leaders travel to the Amex stadium to take on Championship opposition in the form of Gus Poyet's Seagulls.
It is 20 years since the Red Dragons memorably dumped Arsenal out of the competition 2-1 at this stage.
And 6ft 4ins Creighton, 30, insists the Welshmen, who are unbeaten in 14 league matches, can make more headlines. He said: "Anything can happen and we just hope it's us that pulls off the big shock of the day, as there is always one.
"Brighton are a passing team, but it is part of our game to stop the opposition doing what they want. We are very fit and will get in amongst them a bit.
"It's part of my game to be intimidating and a bit of a monster, but I'm really just an old-fashioned, tough-tackling defender.
"One of the Oxford fans called me 'Beast' when I was there, and it has stuck ever since. I think it's funny."
