Blackburn striker Colin Kazim-Richards has called on his team-mates to use their FA Cup victory over Arsenal as inspiration for their Championship campaign.

Kazim-Richards admits it was a surreal experience to take on his boyhood club. "I used to train under the Clock End (at Highbury) on the indoor pitches, so for me to get the goal is amazing. You dream of stuff like this and for it to come true," said Kazim-Richards, who dedicated the goal to his brother Rodney - who passed away as an infant from Edwards Syndrome. "My dad was in the crowd, he comes to every game so for him to see it was great. My mum was there too, so for them it was a nice day."
