Stephen Knight discusses Birmingham City's upcoming trip to Wembley Stadium

Prior to the announcement of the compelling series, Knight had been talking up his side's chances of adding to an already remarkable season under Davies as they head to Wembley for the sixth time in the club's history, 14 years after their underdog triumph against Arsenal in the EFL Cup final.

"I don't care what the trophy is. There'll be 50,000 of us singing 'Keep Right On' - it'll be fantastic," he told the BBC.

Referrring to the late, late show against the Gooners back in 2011, Knight said: "I was with two of my sons who were quite young. When Obafemi Martins put the ball in - I said they were going to equalise.

"It was two minutes to go and it was plenty of time. But when the final whistle went, I was in tears.

"This will be the same. I always lose my voice for about a week after," he added.

This season has represented a sea change from recent normality in B9, and supporters will now be glad they can bask in the glory of their success, as well as hoping a global audience takes note of the club's high ceiling.
