‘Dream come true’ for Cadden if Well lift cup

Chris Cadden admits joining the class of 1991 would be a “dream come true” as the Motherwell wing-back bids to bring the William Hill Scottish Cup back to his hometown.

The 21-year-old is too young to remember Motherwell’s second and most recent trophy win but he has heard all about it, never more so than this week.

He is desperate to emulate the 1991 heroes when he faces Celtic in Saturday’s final.

Cadden said: “It’s the biggest day in Scottish football and all the boys are buzzing, the staff are buzzing and you can tell the fans are buzzing.

“Even when you walk about Asda, people are wishing you good luck. It gives you butterflies. It’s only Tuesday and I can’t wait to get out there and make it a special day for the fans.

“Everyone still talks about the ’91 team and if we go out and do it and give the fans a day to remember then that will be like us.

“It’s 20-odd years and people are still talking about it. To be part of that, and genuinely be living legends if we went on to win it, we can’t wait.

“It would genuinely be a dream come true if I could lift that trophy in front of the Motherwell fans.

“You dream of going to cup finals but never in your wildest dreams do you imagine lifting a trophy with Motherwell.

“But if we can do it, honestly it would be a genuine dream.”

Cadden is looking to harness a community spirit which saw him join with fans to provide backing vocals on cup final song Up The Well with band the Banter Thiefs.

Cadden said: “I have heard it back but I’m not really happy with my performance! But it brings all the people together.”
