After years in the wilderness followed by play-off heartbreak Coventry are finally emerging from the darkness as they await a blockbuster FA Cup semi-final showdown with Man United

Victory in an FA Cup classic and a trip to Wembley would be more than enough for most clubs but Coventry City have their eyes on an even bigger prize.

The Championship club will face Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-finals next month after their remarkable win over Wolves courtesy of stoppage-time goals from Ellis Simms and Haji Wright.

It is the first time they have reached Wembley in this competition since they lifted the trophy in 1987, but the more significant year for Coventry is 2001. That was when they were relegated from the top flight and they have not been back since.
