Blackburn midfielder Dunn delighted seeing kids reach FA Youth Cup final

Blackburn Rovers midfielder David Dunn is delighted seeing the club reach the FA Youth Cup final.

Dunn came through the youth system at Rovers.

"I remember when I was in the final with Rovers and I wobbled in the first leg at Ewood. It is a big test playing in front of such a crowd," he told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"Youth team football is all about producing players. The important thing for both teams is not winning cups, it is how many of these players go on to have a career.

"Games like this are a learning curve for the players and the coaches because you see who the players are that can cope with the pressure."
