Leighton Baines keen for another Everton FC FA Cup run
LEIGHTON Baines today set his sights on creating more enduring memories for Evertonians by reaching Wembley again.[LNB]The Blues left-back was fired-up ahead of Saturday's hard-fought FA Cup victory over Carlisle United by watching a DVD of last season's semi-final win against Manchester United.[LNB]Now he wants to go one better and be part of the team that clinch the trophy, starting with beating either Birmingham or Nottingham Forest at Goodison Park in the fourth round.[LNB]He said: 'Last year the semi-final was amazing, especially with those scenes after the game. Then being able to play in a final regardless of the result will be a career highlight for many of us.[LNB]'But that is all motivation and just motivates us to get there again because we know it's achievable.[LNB]'We know we can do it.[LNB]'Yes we fell at the final hurdle but we want to go on a new run. My son was watching a DVD of the semi-final the other day and I ended up sitting down and watching the first half with him and those games were so special.[LNB]'It was only the other day that my mate was telling me about going down (to Wembley) and how it was one of the best days of his life. We all know what it means to the fans and it means as much to us as well.'[LNB]But Baines, who scored a penalty to seal Everton's 3-1 third round win, is aware the Toffees were lucky to be in the draw yesterday.
