Whelan savours City reunion
Stoke midfielder Glenn Whelan is delighted his side will face Manchester City in the FA Cup final, having started his career at Eastlands.
The Republic of Ireland international is hoping to keep his place in the Potters side at Wembley on May 14 after helping his team dismantle Bolton 5-0 in the semi-final on Sunday.
Whelan, 27, cannot believe how much the landscape in the blue corner of Manchester has changed since his time with the club.
"That's where I started out. I've got fond memories back there," said Whelan. "It's where I learnt my trade. It will unbelievable to play against them if I'm in the team come the final.
"There's not many there now from my time - only the kitman and a couple of physios from my time.
"I only left about six years ago so to have that kind of massive turnaround is crazy."
