Chester: Let's make history

Hull City head to Wembley on Sunday for a first semi-final in 84 years

James Chester has urged his Hull team-mates to "make some history" as they prepare for their FA Cup semi-final with Sheffield United.

City head to Wembley on Sunday for a first semi-final in 84 years as the clear favourites against lower-league opponents and Chester wants them to make it count.

The 25-year-old defender is no stranger to a winning culture having been at Manchester United as they won three Premier League titles, two League Cups and one Champions League trophy.

He did not make an appearance during that time and made his way to Hull via loans with Carlisle and Plymouth but has transferred the experience he gained to Hull, with whom he won promotion last season and an FA Cup semi spot in this campaign.

"It's been strange," he said. "To get to the Premier League is where you want to play your football and hopefully we are safe this season and then we can enjoy that adventure again next year.

"The FA Cup run has been a bonus. You win three games and are into a quarter-final, then now a semi-final and it's amazing how quickly you reach this stage in the competition."
