Our semi-final goal hero (and local Cardiff boy) Joe Ledley. He scored the winner against Barnsley at Wembley with just 9 mins gone, and meant 80 minutes of glorious torture for the 35000 Cardiff fans on that day in April.Roger Johnson celebrating after scoring in the quarter-final game up in Middlesbrough to take us to Wembley for the first time.
Sadly all our hopes and dreams were not to be realised, as Portsmouth won 1-0.
Here we see the players taking their fully deserved lap-of-honour after the game. To a man they played their hearts out that day, and I for one will remember and thank them for their efforts as long as I live.
The way football has become now, we may never see Cardiff in the FA Cup Final again (or a final like the one we took part in) and that would be incredibly sad.
So despite the result, I will always look back on that day in may with joy, pleasure, yes disappointment at what could have been, but with a very happy heart.
