Long before launching his bid to become the most powerful man on the planet, Donald Trump dipped his toe into English football.
It was December 1991, and the now-Republican presidential candidate had agreed to appear in the fifth-round draw for what was known as the Rumbelows Cup at his Trump Tower headquarters in New York.
It was part of the 'Saint and Greavsie' show, which ran on ITV between 1985 and 1992, and Trump was tasked with drawing the away teams out of the bag after Jimmy Greaves had picked the home teams.
The footage opens with an introduction from the former Football League secretary David Dent, and Trump enjoys some light-hearted banter with Greaves before getting started.
The draw pits Norwich against Tottenham, Nottingham Forest or Southampton against Swindon or Crystal Palace, and Peterborough against Middlesbrough before Trump pulls Manchester United out of the hat to face Leeds United, their title rivals.
"Oh, Donald," Ian St John says.
"You don't realise what you've done there," Greaves says.
"That's a biggie," Trump says. "That sounds like a game I want to go to."
Former Chelsea and Tottenham striker Greaves then quizzes Trump on his personal interest in football.
"I used to play - we call it here, soccer," Trump says.
"It's a great game. I love soccer."
Trump reveals his excitement at the prospect of the USA hosting the 1994 World Cup, and Greaves rounds things off by presenting the property magnate with a 'Saint and Greavsie' mug, jokingly describing it as "the most prestigious award in footballing history".
It is unknown whether Trump ever made it to the "biggie" at Elland Road, but Manchester United went on to lift the trophy with a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Wembley in April 1992.
This year's fifth-round draw will take place live on Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports News HQ after Wednesday's ties. It's a funny old game - but this time it is not expected to feature a future presidential candidate.
