CITY will be urged to make more memories in the club’s first appearance in the FA Cup last eight for 39 years.

The 2013 squad were christened the history-makers after making it to the Capital One Cup final as a fourth-tier team as well as winning promotion.

And Phil Parkinson reckons that beating Reading to reach a first FA Cup semi-final in over a century would ensure the current side’s place in City folklore.

Parkinson said: “When we got to the Capital One Cup final it was about making history.

“The FA Cup is obviously a level above and if we can do it on Saturday, it will be the first time since 1911 the club has played in a semi-final – so this group of players will be remembered.

“That’s what being involved in football is all about. The big teams in the Premier League will be casting very envious eyes on ourselves and Reading playing in the quarter-final.

“We definitely respect Reading, but certainly we don’t fear them. We’ve got to take the experience we’ve had from a couple of years ago and this season into this game.

“I’d like to think, looking at the lads, that there is an air of confidence as individuals and when you’re confident in your own ability, you want to play on the biggest stage possible, in front of the packed houses and the TV cameras and we have the chance to do that.”
