It can be United or Aston Villa or Chelsea or whoever. I just want to win, and if I can score a goal against them, I'll be buzzing.

Wilfried Zaha

I've been fortunate enough to win the FA Cup as a player but it's taken me 15 years as a manager to get to a semi-final.

Steve Bruce

I remember, when I was at Sunderland, we made the FA Cup final and played in front of 20,000 at Derby.

Lucy Bronze

Newcastle was tough - the manager who'd signed me, Bobby Robson, got sacked three games into the season, so a new manager arrived, and I ended up going on loan again, to Aston Villa.

James Milner

I think the FA Cup has great memories and I think there have been Nigerian legends that have played in it as well, like Jay-Jay Okocha and Nwankwo Kanu. They've played in it, so it's a great thing to play in the FA Cup.

Kelechi Iheanacho

The FA Cup final is such a fantastic final to play in. I played in the 1999 one at Wembley, and after having watched so many finals as a kid, to be able to make that long walk up from the dressing room to the pitch was fantastic.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

'Strictly' is a bit like scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup Final or sinking the final putt in the Ryder Cup - only a few people get the opportunity to do it, and they have got to be famous.

Anton du Beke

I don't follow football, I just love the name Aston Villa. Here in England you have other footballing entities like Manchester and Arsenal and Chelsea

Tom Hanks

I'd been at Everton for more than 11 years. We'd qualified for the Champions League, got to an FA Cup final. I'd been voted manager of the season three times.

David Moyes

I won three FA Cup finals, two League Cup finals, and played in one of United's two Champions League-winning finals. But I lost in a lot of finals, too: the FA Cup in 1995, 2005 and 2007, the League Cup in 2003, and the Champions League in 2009 and 2011.

Paul Scholes

If you are not a good team, you will never get to the final day of the Premier League season or the final of the FA Cup.

Peter Schmeichel

I've been to Wembley before to watch Liverpool and Everton in the FA Cup semi-final in 2012. I saw the atmosphere there, and I didn't ever think women's football would be played in front of those crowds in my time.
