Bruce calls on his players to become Hull legends

Hull City boss Steve Bruce has called on his players to make themselves legends.

Bruce has challenged his players to write their names in Hull City folklore and make it a decade of pain for Arsenal at Wembley today.

"I know from experience, the Cup final is like a blur, so my message to the players will be to make sure they savour it and remember it," said the Hull manager.

"Make sure you play a full part, because it's not a nice memory if you don't. Can you make a name for yourself? Can you be a hero? Can you go down in this club's history as the team that beat Arsenal in the Cup final?

"That's what I'll be challenging them to do, and we will have a plan of action to try and beat Arsenal. Just look at last season. Wigan's players will be remembered forever as Cup winners, and that has to be the spur for us"
