Tottenham signing Ryan Nelsen is desperate to taste FA Cup glory.

The New Zealand international, who is likely to feature in Tottenham's fifth-round game at Stevenage on Sunday, is desperate to go one better with his new club, who he thinks have a good chance of going all the way this year.

"I've been to three semi-finals, two of them in the FA Cup, so it would obviously be nice to push on," said Nelsen, who also experienced semi-final heartbreak in the Carling Cup in 2010.

"I've had a bit of a taste of it and have come so close to getting to a final so I feel I've got a bit of unfinished business with the competition."
