Cup dream is Best aim for Blackburn Rovers

LEON Best is dreaming of ending his 13-month injury hell in style by firing Blackburn Rovers into an FA Cup semi final at Wembley.

Rovers’ summer signing will make his full debut for the club in tomorrow’s quarter final at Championship rivals Millwall, having not played since last February due to injury.

The 26-year-old had just recovered from a medial ligament injury when he moved to Ewood Park in the summer for circa £3million but, after just a couple of pre-season friendlies, he suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury.

Now, having played his first 10 minutes for Rovers in a substitute cameo on Tuesday night, Best is relishing the opportunity of making his full bow on the big stage.

He said: “The result didn’t go our way on Tuesday but to be back amongst it was brilliant.

“The time out “has made me realise what a good job we have got and how much we need to appreciate it.

“I am just delighted to be back fit and playing now. The last game I started was Aston Villa at home for Newcastle in January 2012. It has been a long time.

“It is a massive game to be coming back for and I’m lucky it is a game like this I am back for. Hopefully we are all up for it and do the right things and get to Wembley.

“Even when I came on the other night, the Blackburn fans were showing me a lot of love, that gave me a lift as well. The fact I haven’t played for the club yet and they rate me enough to be cheering is another lift for me.

“Jordan Rhodes has been doing very well and scored a lot of goals. I look forward to playing with him and, when we have the likes of Colin Kazim-Richards back, we will be a strong force definitely .”

Best has never played at Wembley but did score a half time penalty at thehome of English football as a competition winner in his childhood.

“I went to Wembley as a fan a long time ago,” he said. “I went to the Coca Cola Cup final between Middlesbrough and Chelsea in 1998. I won some tickets to go.

“It would be good to go back to the new one. It was a Coca Cola kid competition, where you do kick-ups and tricks. I took a penalty at half time and scored, I think it was against the Chelsea reserve keeper.

“I was only young, Chelsea won the game. I got a medal for it, it was a good time, and got to meet all the players.”

Best also had words of thanks for Blackburn Rovers physio Dave Fevre - along with the rest of the club’s medical staff – for their part in his rehabilitation.

He said: “The medical staff at Blackburn have been brilliant. In football you get stressed and take your anger out on the people closest to you.

“Sometimes I’m sure I have been a bit annoying but Dave Fevre has been unbelievable. I am the type of person who is always pushing and he handled it very well. I have the utmost of respect for him.”

Though it would be a brilliant experience to see rovers at wembley how enjoyable would it be watching them thrashed by Utd, Chelsea and the likes? Humiliating I imagine. Arsenal are in a slightly different league. I just can't see us beating millwall with our midfield

Merlin, you can't say anything negative on here or you will have the thumbs down. Even though we have been sinking for three seasons now, with no sign that we have yet reached the bottom, there are those who, to quote a certain manager "can take the positives out of that "

The Den is walkable from Surrey Quays on the underground, or New Cross or New Cross Gate on the mainline trains. The nearest station is South Bermondsey but that's closed tomorrow. Don't wear your colours openly and don't ask directions, just follow the flow

The best way to get to The Den if you're travelling by public transport is to wear a Millwall shirt and 'keep ya nut down' mate!

Seriously though, take the tube to London Bridge (Northern or Jubilee Lines) then take the overland train to South Bermondsey. It's not far from the stadium and there'll be Police or stewards there to direct you to the away end.

Many thanks for directions. I had been thinking of ringing the Venky's and asking if there was room for a supporter in one of their Rolls-Royces (with Rob Coar pedalling), but now I will go on the tube instead.

Yes, your realistic comment received the thumbs down. Like you I am also a realist and can't find much to be optimistic about at the moment after three seasons of decline. I hope Appleton can turn it round and if we play like we did at Bolton we could have a chance tomorrow.
Let's hope he picks a team who are committed to the cause and leaves the passengers out.
Up t' Rovers.

I feel to see how either of you ( or just the one maybe Mr Multiposter? Agreeing with yourself to big up the post) can claim to be a realist.
You are out and out pessimists, you can see no light at all, doom all round
Now granted an optimist like me sometimes over does the straw clutching but. it is hope that keeps you going
In fact I dont believe that any football fan who attends live matches can be a realist, as we all like to think today might be our day when most times it ain't
But every now and again it is...
Of course Man U and Barca fans etc are not included in this observation as they have cause for realism or even optimism
So I suggest you two s*d off and buy a Man U shirt or put yourselves out of your misery once and for all
So not needed at Ewood...we have sufficient supply of pessimism currently

You might not agree with me , that's up to you but don't think you are any better supporter than I am just because you have a different opinion. You make yourself sound conceited.
After three seasons of spiraling forever downwards you are still as optimistic as ever I see.

Lets hope we win at Millwall...!
but it will only mean more games for us and with the current squad injuries I'm not sure we can cope.

I think for certs....we will not be going up for sure this season...!
hence we need to start preparing for next season.
We need a complete midfield for starts....!!!
what players should we keep or get rid of ..??
what do you think?

Goalkeepers
1 Robinson Finished :Get rid of

Though it would be a brilliant experience to see rovers at wembley how enjoyable would it be watching them thrashed by Utd, Chelsea and the likes? Humiliating I imagine. Arsenal are in a slightly different league. I just can't see us beating millwall with our midfield
Merlin, you can't say anything negative on here or you will have the thumbs down. Even though we have been sinking for three seasons now, with no sign that we have yet reached the bottom, there are those who, to quote a certain manager "can take the positives out of that "
Is there thumbs down? I've watched rovers for many years. I'm a realist. I'll be cheering them on from my home though tomorrow as I'm ill at the moment.
No thumbs down from me, agree totally.

Nightmare scenario, win today, start dreaming of Wembley and forget league position.

Slip closer to relegation zone, but hey a Wembley appearance brightens up a players CV.

Get stuffed at Wembley by a team of reserves or a rampant Wigan.

BRAG and the boo boys kick off again.

Relegation beckons.
