Nameless Your crafty edit throws the discussion off a bit !
I have absolutely no recollection of Stephen Kelly . Bizarre.


I'll be honest, I only remembered him because the source I looked at for the semi final line ups listed him as S.Kelly.

I tend to file the Adkins and Clarke years alongside Porterfield in the "oxf*rd, was that just a bad dream" file.

Nahki Wells played 85 minutes in Bradford City's 2013 league two playoff final victory against Northampton town.



Pretty sure he also played in the League Cup final against Swansea.


Yes, he did! Substituted after 57 minutes.

From Despair To Where? Al Habsi, McShane and Quinn have all played in an FA Cup final.

Obviously, Obita, Gunter, Williams and McCleary all played in the cup semi.

Gunter has also played in a European Championship semi final.

That's off the top of my head.

Ali Al-Habsi watched the 2013 FA Cup Final from the bench, so not sure that counts for much.

Al habsi has over 100 PL appearances in his locker although crucially he has achieved the ultimate in professional football and made an appearance for the mighty Brighton. I think that might be what clinches it at Wembley.

I realised today that I didn't remember Clarke's name today. I remember what he looked like, but couldn't recollect his name

On the subject of not remembering the dross of recent years, I walked past Legia Warsaw's ground the other day and it took me hours to remember the name of our last signing from there, even though it was only a couple of years ago I just couldn't remember his name.

In the end I remembered his chant before I remembered him! :oops:

Meanwhile, back on topic, think it's more about who has the calmest and most laid back players. I believe both teams will have a couple of training sessions at Wembley so the ground, layout and playing surface won't be totally alien to them - but when it's filled with 75000 screaming fans, tv teams who have no clue who you are and low flying cameras it might be a bit more challenging.
