We were massive underdogs at the beginning of the competition and I'll put my hands up say and I didn't think we were going to go all the way. But, as you can see, we are never beaten. The manager told us to keep our chins up, to try and score early in the second half and give some respect for the fans. The first goal gave us a bit of belief. The supporters have saved up for weeks and months to come here. I am so happy to lift the cup for the fans.

The odds were against us, but we deserve to be where we are.

The fact I've played well means that on a personal level I have enjoyed the season.

In football, the hero and legend status is given out far too easily for me.

To me it's the best trophy you can win and to bring it back for all them fans that have supported us right through would be something special.

A mate owned a Bryan Robson top. We were kicking about, and I asked if I could be Robbo for a while. My dad looked out and went ballistic. He wasn’t having his kid dragging the Gerrard name through the gutter. I thought we’d have to move!

Hopefully it'll give us a bit of luck on the night, but I'm not really a superstitious person.
