Craig: It's perfect final for me
Craig Bellamy admits he cannot wait to face his hometown club in the Carling Cup final.
The 32-year-old was born in Cardiff and enjoyed a loan spell there last season, so was delighted when they saw off Crystal Palace in the semi-final on Tuesday night.
And after scoring the decisive goal which sent Liverpool to Wembley, he said: "The omens were looking good going into tonight after I saw Cardiff go through.
"I was delighted for them and this couldn't be a better final for me. Cardiff means so much to me.
"And to score the winning goal against my old side to set up this final makes it a perfect night.
"I have never played at Wembley either, so it will mean so much for me to go there and try to win a trophy.
"I went to watch a couple of Liverpool's finals at the Millennium Stadium and played there myself in the Community Shield.
"But now we're playing a Welsh side at Wembley. It's funny how football turns out."
