(Reuters) - Lincoln City's Nathan Arnold, hero of their third round FA Cup upset win over former holders Ipswich Town, would not even have been at the National League (fifth-tier) club if it was not for a crowdfunding initiative backed by supporters.

Arnold, who struck in stoppage time to secure a 1-0 victory in their third-round replay at Sincil Bank, was with Grimsby Town six months ago and close to signing a new contract.
