Dave Phillips FA Cup Winner Represents Who I Am

"We had an excellent run to the semi final, .

"It was something unheard off for a Third Division team to make it to the semi final of the FA Cup. No-one gave us a chance.

"That was my first taste of what FA Cup football was all about and I loved every minute of it.

"Making my full debut for Wales against England was an honour, but winning a major cup with Coventry was too.

"If I was to go abroad I think 'David Phillips, FA Cup winner' represents who I am if I was to pick one over the other.

"I think playing at Hillsborough in the quarter final was a big help for us when we returned for the semi final because we were used to the atmosphere and the pitch too.

"Hillsborough was such a magical ground, with the fans so close to the action and when it was a full house there was nothing that could beat that.

"At Wembley the fans feel so far away but at Hillsborough it's like they're on top of you.

"As a footballer you can't wait to play in situations like that and it was always a ground I had a bit of luck at.

"I hadn't lost there in my career as a player and I think we got a bit of luck in the semi final that afternoon too to progress into the final.

"Winning the FA Cup is something I will never forget. People in Coventry will never forget that achievement and some of the players can live off the back of that cup success, but I'm not one of those."
