This afternoon Carl McHugh from Lettermacaward will take to the hallowed surface at Wembley hoping to be part of history and pull off the greatest Cup shock ever.
His League 2 side Bradford City take on Premiership star Swansea in the Capital One League Cup Final.
And even Carl admits it’s all a bit surreal.
“This season has been crazy but great for me,” said the 20-year-old Donegal native.
“I am really enjoying it. When I came to Bradford in the summer, I just wanted a chance to play football somewhere. I needed to reignite my career after what happened last year.
“Being released by Reading, you do have your doubts and think about what the future will bring. But I wanted to work hard and hope that things went well.
“There were times this season when I wasn’t playing, just playing in the reserves, but the gaffer told me to work hard and wait for my chance.
“The gaffer gave me that chance and I have taken it. But now I want to kick on.”
And with 120 family and friends in the crowd at Wembley today, there’s no better place to kick on!
His manager Phil Parkinson said: “It’s going to be a great occasion and we’ve got to make sure we savour every moment.
“The fans must remember they could be supporting their club all their lives and never have anything like this.
“We should all be privileged to be involved.
“Everybody needs to understand the position we are in and soak up the atmosphere.”
The match is live on Sky, kick-off 4pm with highlights on BBC at 10.20pm.
