The City Head Coach says the FA Cup has always been close to his heart and he believes the magic and romance of the competition remains strong to this day.

“We lost 1-0 to Newcastle to an Alan Shearer goal that day.

“It’s been around a hell of a long time and people who have won it are immensely proud of that.”
