Sunday's Carling Cup final saw Birmingham City overcome favourites Arsenal to lift the trophy at Wembley, their first major silverware since 1963.
A key player in their success was goalkeeper Ben Foster, who received the Man of the Match award, a player that enjoyed a loan spell with Devon non-league side Tiverton Town during the 2003-04 season.
Foster joined Tivvy on loan from his then parent club Stoke City and made 16 appearances whilst at Ladysmead.
This was the first time since signing for the Potters that he made appearances totalling double figures for any side. Prior to this spell, he had been on loan at Bristol City without making a first team appearance.
Ben later had loan spells with Stafford Rangers and Kidderminster Harriers before he joined Wrexham in loan deal during the 2004-05 campaign.
During his spell with the Red Dragons, Wrexham reached the final of the LDV Vans Trophy where Ben was spotted by Sir Alex Ferguson who was watching the game as his son, Darren, was playing in it. He then signed Ben on a permanent deal from Stoke and the rest turned out to be history as Ben went on to appear for Manchester United and England before moving to Birmingham in 2010.
