The last time Dean Bouzanis went to Wembley it was to watch his partner, Steph Catley, play for Arsenal in the Women’s FA Cup final. Catley was on the losing team that day but Bouzanis is hoping to register a happier memory on Sunday when he and his Sutton teammates take on Rotherham in the Papa John’s Trophy final, in their first season after promotion from the National League.
It will be Sutton’s first trip to Wembley since the FA Trophy final defeat by Bishop’s Stortford in 1981 and Bouzanis’s maiden visit as a player. “It is a massive achievement, getting promoted, really pushing on and having a chance of going up from League Two this year, and then getting this fantastic day out,” he says.
