Cardiff 0-1 Portsmouth: King Kanu is Harry Redknapp's Cup hero

Nwankwo Kanu

Nwankwo Kanu was the King of Wembley yesterday after scoring the winning goal in Portsmouth's FA Cup triumph.

The Nigeria striker paraded the trophy with manager Harry Redknapp and sported a baseball cap with the word King emblazoned on it.

Kanu said: "They call me king. I have to deliver and hopefully I did. This is the best moment of my life."

Manager Redknapp was close to tears as he celebrated his team's glory. He said: "It's fantastic, for everybody, especially my family.

"It's been a difficult year off the field so this is a dream come true. The players are all great, I love them all."

Kanu hopes his heroics will earn him a pay rise but he may have a battle to stay in the team when Pompey recruit Peter Crouch this summer.
