Liam Trotter at Wembley again.

By Ian - Last updated: Monday, May 24, 2010

It must be every footballers dream to play at Wembley however bad the pitch is. Liam Trotter played there last year when on loan to Scunthorpe and helped them secure a place in the Championship by beating Millwall in the League One play-off final.
