LEEDS are two wins away from Wembley but one today will bring up an achievement in itself.

- BY ISAAC JOHNSON

Scores of fans have not seen their club reach the quarterfinals of the FA Cup in their lifetimes, or living memory.

Third-round goalscorer Wilfried Gnonto had not yet been born when they last made the final eight in March 2003.

And Leeds boss Daniel Farke was still operating as, by his own admission, “Europe's slowest striker" for German outfit SV Lippstadt.

Farke will not be in the dugout against former club Norwich today as he serves a one-match ban following his red card against Manchester City.

Nevertheless, the German has described himself as a football “romantic” and is “a big believer in cup competitions”.
