Kenny Jackett is one step away from Wembley - and he's desperate to use the roar of the Lions' home crowd to get him there.

Millwall boss Jackett reached The FA Cup Final as a player back in 1984 following a wonderful run with Watford.

And while that remains his abiding memory of the world's oldest knockout competition on a personal level, he's eager to write history as Millwall manager.

The Lions, who reached The Final against Manchester United in 2004, face Blackburn in the quarter finals on Sunday.

The tantalising prospect of a Semi-Final tie at the home of football is on offer and Jackett has called on the Millwall fans to make home advantage count.

He said: "It is a great opportunity.

"If you had a choice, you would have a home game and there will be a great atmosphere and it is a sell-out.

"It is fantastic opportunity. This is the furthest we have been for quite a while and the furthest I have been as a manager.

"We have to do ourselves justice and take it. There's a big build-up to the game and on the day, the supporters will take the roof off - that will be important.

"Everyone sees it is a big game."

Reflecting on his own experiences in The Cup as a player, he added:  "Certainly reaching The Final was a big thing.

"Perhaps not The Final itself as we lost, but the actual run, with Birmingham in the quarter finals where we beat them in '84 - that was the biggest one."

And Jackett is well aware of the prize on offer to the victors on Sunday.

He added: "It is a great prospect, it really is. I haven't had this as a manager and for both sides, they will feel the same. It's a really big chance.

"We have to make home advantage count and we have to put a performance on."
