Eddie Howe took a look back to his time as a player with AFC Bournemouth to help remind himself of how his squad will feel on cup final day.
Howe admits that the Auto Windscreens Shield final of 1998 is nowhere near as prestigious as the Carabao Cup final. But his big day still came in front of 62,432 at the old Wembley.
Unfortunately for Howe and the Cherries they were beaten by a golden goal from Wayne Burnett in extra time and lost to Grimsby Town in front of the old twin towers. But he still feels that his experience can help him pass on advice to his stars.
