The Shots came from behind to record a memorable cup upset thanks to second-half strikes from Luke Guttridge and Danny Hylton.

The result was sweet for Holdsworth, a self-confessed West Ham fan who played under Hammers boss Sam Allardyce at Bolton.

"I'm delighted for the players, for the fans and for the club," he said.

"West Ham put a strong side out and we gave a good account of ourselves.

"I think the world of Big Sam, but this is about my team. It's the best feeling I have had since becoming a manager."
