Tottenham ace Palacios desperate for first Wembley appearance

Tottenham midfielder Wilson Palacios admits he would relish a return to Wembley after being cup-tied for the Carling Cup final last season.

Spurs face Bolton Wanderers today in the FA Cup.

"I played at Wembley during pre-season but it's completely different to go and play in the final of the FA Cup," he said. "I was unfortunate last season because I was sitting on the bench and not playing when we got to the Carling Cup Final.

"I was nervous and excited to be there that day and I can't imagine what it would be like to play in the FA Cup Final at Wembley."

Palacios, who made his club debut against Bolton, added: "This is a very important game. Of course, I remember my debut. We played well that day, came from 2-0 down to be level at 2-2 and then lost during injury time.

"We drew at Bolton in October and those results show how difficult it is to win at Bolton. But as I said, this game is very important to everyone at Tottenham. We all want to win."
