Pompey boss challenges players to claim FA Cup glory

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has urged his players to become 'heroes in history' by lifting the FA Cup on Saturday. Pompey and Championship side Cardiff City go head-to-head - live on Sky Sports 1 and HD 1 - at Wembley with both teams gunning for FA Cup glory. And ahead of what promises to be a fiercely contested encounter, Redknapp has rallied his Portsmouth troops, challenging them to ensure the club lifts the trophy for the first time since 1939. "These lads we have now are a great bunch, a pleasure to work with, but they need to win this trophy on Saturday and make themselves heroes in history," he said. "Whatever happens it has been a great season despite losing four matches in a row (in the Premier League) right at the end. That was disappointing but it won't matter a bit if we win the cup. "Not even Europe will matter then - not until later. It will be great to get into the Uefa Cup just for the sake of it but right now I'm concentrating on just this one game."
