My Little Sister Was Born On An FA Cup Day Said Bowen


 

Former Hereford United youngster Jarrod Bowen is hoping to be in the Hull team that plays at Chelsea this evening in the FA Cup.

However his main memory from FA Cup days in the past was when his little sister was born.

"The biggest memory I have of the FA Cup isn’t through playing,” he told the Hull City Tigers site.

"Instead, I was watching Manchester United play Portsmouth and my little sister was born on that day.

"I was watching the FA Cup game and then dad came running in, turning the telly off. I looked him like, ‘Are you all right?’

"The next thing I know he is chucking me in the back of the car saying, ‘Your sister is being born, we have got to go’. That is the memory (of the FA Cup) that stands out mainly.

"Otherwise, I was at a tie between Hereford and Shrewsbury once. Back home that is a big derby. I think Sam Clucas played that day and we (Hereford) won. Then there was the 2014 final (for Hull) against Arsenal.

"Hereford’s season had finished and my move (to Hull) was already going through. Me and my dad were Hull fans for 90 minutes."

As regards tonight's game Bowen would like to play.

"I'm looking forward to the game and itching to be involved. I want to test myself against the best players in the world because that's how you improve as a player - and that's what I want to achieve."
