West Ham's Cole preparing for 'biggest day' of his career

West Ham United striker Carlton Cole is looking forward to what he describes as the 'biggest day of his career'.

The Hammers are through to the Championship play-off final after cruising past Cardiff City with a 5-0 aggregate win in the two-legged semi-final and the 28-year old is now eagerly anticipating the May 19 Wembley final against the winners of Blackpool and Birmingham City tonight (Blackpool take a 1-0 lead into the away leg).

"Woken up with a smile on my face, now it's time to focus on the biggest day of my career to date, the 19th has me thirsty for success," he posted on Twitter.
