Doug King expressed his astonishment at Coventry City unexpected victory over Wolves in the FA Cup quarter-final revealing his dream of facing local rivals Leicester City at Wembley. King hopes Leicester win their match against Chelsea to set up an all-Championship semi-final. With Manchester City already confirmed as semi-finalists, the remaining tie between Manchester United and Liverpool will determine the last team for the draw.

King had urged manager Mark Robins for a cup run and Coventry delivered beyond expectations. Ellis Simms gave Coventry the lead in the second half but Wolves fought back to take a 2-1 lead. However, Coventry late surge including a dramatic 90+10 minute winner from Haji Wright sealed their victory. King praised the team’s determination and expressed excitement for the manager and players.

He emphasized the significance of the win highlighting the club’s first semi-final appearance in 37 years. King commended Robins for his leadership and ambitions for Premier League promotion. He lauded the passionate support from Coventry fans and expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming semi-final hoping for a trip to the final.
