Having played at the 'old' Wembley on numerous occasions, Nick Barmby is certainly no stranger to the home of English football.

The 34-year-old has played at the stadium at both domestic and international levels but was quick to admit he can't wait for the opportunity to represent the Tigers at the famous ground.

"It's a special place, Wembley, it generates such an atmosphere, so it'll be a special day for everyone," he said.

"The richest game in the world, for my hometown team, and to see all our fans at Wembley, who've never been there, will be something special.

"These are the games you want to be involved in. Domestically, this'll rank up with anything I've won with some of the great clubs I've been fortunate enough to play for."

Whilst everyone in the Tigers camp will be looking forward to the game, Barmby insisted nobody will be losing their focus on the job that needs doing.

"Everyone is really looking forward to it but we're not going down there just for the occasion, we're going down there full of confidence.

"We know it'll be a difficult game because Bristol City are a good side, a good footballing side, but we want to go there and win!

"For my hometown club, if we manage to get through and get into the Premier League, it would mean everything, it really would. It would mean everything to the people of Hull and, especially, to the kids of the city, who aspire to make it in the game.

"To see the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo coming to the KC and going to places like Anfield and Old Trafford would have a massive positive effect on the city."
