Stoke City goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen is keen to win the FA Cup just as a dedication to Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel.
Schmeichel's medal haul with Manchester United included three FA Cup titles, while his compatriot's 13 years with Sunderland, Aston Villa and Stoke have so far yielded only a First Division crown with the former in 1999.
Sorensen is hoping the gap will be narrowed slightly next month, and he is sure Schmeichel will be among those offering their support if Stoke do prevail at the weekend.
The 34-year-old said: "I had the pleasure of working with him (Schmeichel) for a couple of years and what he did for Danish football and for goalkeepers, a few of us have benefited from that.
"It would be nice to get one back on him as he's won so much. I'm good friends with his son and I have a good relationship with him, I talk to him when I link up with the national team and he is doing TV work.
"I'm sure I'll get a message from him if we get to the final. He's always been very supportive and helped me along the way."
