FOR most Brits, sipping on a cold one in a bar in sunny Mallorca seems the ideal way to spend a May afternoon.

But David Moyes is more than happy to postpone his annual to the Mediterranean with more pressing matters to hand this weekend.

The Scot will aim for the first major silverware of his managerial career when he leads Everton out at Wembley for the FA Cup final at Wembley.

In recent years, Moyes could often be found watching the Cup final from a watering hole in Magaluf while on a post-season jaunt with his players.

Now, however, the Everton manager is ready to drink in the atmosphere of the showpiece occasion for himself and end the club’s 14-year wait for a trophy.

“For anyone involved in Cup final day it’s a big day, always something special,” says Moyes. “But more recently, probably over the last 10 years, maybe more, I’ve probably been watching it in Magaluf because at the end of the end of the season you go away for a few days and I’ve not been in the final.

“I’d be sitting there watching the game in a bar with everyone else, so I’m looking forward to being at one.

“Looking back, I’d be watching the game and wishing I was there. But I’d think the same whenever I watched Scotland play. You wanted to be involved in that and you weren’t quite good enough to be there. It was the same with the FA Cup final.

“Growing up in Glasgow, you’d wake up and have a choice of the English game or the Scottish game. You’d be flitting between the games, but the English one always gave you a sense of real glamour, Wembley, everyone walking down Wembley way.

“That stuck in my mind but in the same breath the Scottish Cup was always big. For anyone involved in Cup final day it’s a big day.”
