WHAT price on Matt Derbyshire scoring the winning goal in the first FA Cup final at the new Wembley on May 19?

Six months ago, the bookies would have been happy to quote you generous odds on such a scenario unfolding, but now they might be a tad more cautious because suddenly anything seems possible for the Blackburn striker with the Midas touch.

Derbyshire's Roy of the Rovers' style rise from the relative obscurity of non-league football to the bright lights of the Premiership has been one of the most enchanting stories of the season, and it shows few signs of fizzling out.

On Saturday, the 20-year-old made his debut for the England Under 21s, and it took him all of 13 minutes to etch his name in football folklore as he became one of the first players to experience the thrill of scoring at the new Wembley.

It was a sweet moment for a player who was plying his trade in the North West Counties League Second Division with Great Harwood barely three years ago.

And the way Derbyshire's fairytale continues to unfold, don't bet against him - and Blackburn - returning when the season reaches its climax at the stunning new home of English football.

"I keep saying it but it's another dream come true for me," said Derbyshire, who had never been to Wembley - even as a fan - before the weekend.

"I'm delighted I got a chance to play, I'm delighted I got my cap, and I'm even more delighted that I scored a goal and we didn't lose."

Thrown into the fray as a second half substitute against the cultured Italians on Saturday, Derbyshire made an immediate impact, laying on a goal for Wayne Routledge within seven minutes of his introduction to put England 2-1 in front.

That lead was to last barely sixty seconds before Gianpaolo Pazzini restored parity again.

But then came Derbyshire's big moment, the striker showing great awareness in turning home a mis-cued shot from James Milner to mark his arrival on the international stage.

Of all the goals he has scored this season, his first in an England shirt was possibly the most high profile.

But while Derbyshire was clearly delighted to have scored for his country, he said the six he has scored for Blackburn this season mean more to him.

"It was a great feeling (to score) but I don't think anything will compare to scoring for Blackburn because the club means a hell of a lot to me.

"They're the team I supported as a young boy. But scoring for your country is a different feeling altogether.

"I remember coming on and crossing one in for Wayne Routledge almost immediately.

"Then I think James Milner had a shot, it came straight to me, and I was able to put it in the back of the net."
