Why FA Cup is personal for two Wolves players

The FA Cup is an important competition on a normal match day, but this is no typical game for two Wolverhampton Wanderers players.

For Wolverhampton Wanderers, the fourth round of the FA Cup is not a place they visit all too frequently. The club have struggled in cup competitions for years now, which made their triumph over Premier League side Stoke City all the more refreshing.

Tonight, they will find out who they will face as they attempt to weave a route to Wembley.

However it is a bit more complicated than just one game for Joe Mason and Conor Coady.

With Mason having played for Plymouth Argyle and Coady for Liverpool, it creates something of a divide with those being the two sides that will fight it out for the right to host Wanderers in the next round.

As you can see it is quite a light hearted subject, but both men will still be eager to show how far they have come from their humble beginnings.

For home town Scouser Coady, his nine years in total at Anfield did not lead to many chances in the first-team before his seemingly inevitable move away from the five-time champions of Europe.

Meanwhile Mason, who was born and raised in Plymouth, made his name at the club with 10 goals in 53 appearances between 2009-2011 before securing a big money move away to Cardiff City.

After taking some time to settle in at Molineux, it seems as if the forward is feeling right at home.

With the two men remaining as prominent as ever for Wolves, they will both be hoping they can make a successful return to the place they once called home.
