Sparky: I was a glory hunter at United

Mark Hughes might have forgotten more than most current footballers know – but it now seems the Fulham boss has also lost more ­medals than some have won.

The four-time FA Cup ­winner collected three ­medals at Manchester ­United, all of which reside in the Old Trafford ­museum.

But the ­whearabouts of the fourth and final ­accolade he won at Chelsea seems to elude him.

Hughes said: "I am not too sure where my medals are. Three of them are at ­United's museum and the other is in a drawer ­somewhere I think.

"You are told as a young player that if you get to a cup final you should try to ­remember every moment, but that is impossible. In fairness, I did try.

"I think that the one thing I ­remember is my first Cup Final in 1985, against ­Everton.

"I was still walking up the steps when we picked the trophy up, so I vowed that next time I would be on the top step so if you look at every cup final since it is always, captain, goalkeeper and then me!

"I made sure I was ­always there and getting in all the pictures." Hughes's side take on Owen Coyle's ­Bolton today for a place in the quarter-finals.

Hughes has the headache of selecting which of his ­forwards will start ­after claiming he would have liked to have played ­alongside all of them.

He added: "I like to think in my career I was able to surround myself with good players and the ­players now are all good in their own right.

"I'd have no problem playing with any of them because they all bring ­something different.

"Bobby (Zamora) is a ­focal point who can also protect by using his ­physical strength. AJ (Andrew ­Johnson) is quick and plays off the ­shoulder, ­Moussa Dembele is ­technically ­excellent and Eidur ­Gudjohnsen can drop deep and probe."

Zamora is training again after his broken leg, but he is not ready for first-team action.

Simon Davies and Clint Dempsey are likely to pass late fitness tests.
