Saddler reaches FA Cup final

Last updated : 23 April 2006 By Andy Van Hagen
West Ham United today beat Middlesbrough 1-0 in the FA Cup Semi - Final played at Villa Park.

Super Jim was an unused substitute, but Shakka Hislop continues to come under fire fromthe West Ham fans so Jimmy may get his chance to impress before the end of the season. When Kimmy has played for West Ham he has never let them down so he could be considered unlucky for not featuring. His Premiership debut saw him pick the ball out of his net four times. Despite this he came out of the game with good reviews, his only other Premiership performance resulted in a clean sheet

The semi-final victory now sees Jimmy return to the Millenium Stadium, the place where he suffered horrendous ligament damage during last years Championship Play Off Final. It is a stadium he has never been on the losing side too. The other time he played at the ground was in our play off victory over Reading.

It's great to see that Walker has joined a club challenging for some of our countries top honours.
