Swansea heroes Monk, Williams proud to lift Cup

Swansea City defenders Ashley Williams and Garry Monk were thrilled to lift the Capital One Cup yesterday.

Both tasted action at Wembley.

Williams said: "It's unbelievable, it's what you dream of as a kid and now it's come true - winning a Wembley final."

Williams and club captain Monk, who refused to accept the armband when he went on as a second-half sub, collected the trophy together.

Monk grinned: "I generously allowed Ash to do it with me!

"It's about the journey we've been on as a club for 10 years. In the centenary year, to bring a major cup back puts the icing on the cake."
