Chris Richards celebrated his remarkable achievement of becoming only the second American to win the FA Cup, leading Crystal Palace to a 1-0 victory over Manchester City. This victory at Wembley was historic, as he joined Tim Howard from 2004 as one of the few Americans to claim this prestigious title. Richards shared his pride in inspiring American youth and emphasized the significance of teamwork throughout the tournament as Palace secured their first major trophy with a solid defensive performance.
Richards joins Tim Howard, who lifted the trophy with Manchester United in 2004, as Americans to have won the FA Cup.
It means a lot. Growing up, I never watched the FA Cup. I'm from Alabama, so we didn't have that on TV.
We just tried to keep it one play at a time. If we can just do our job and let the guys up front put one or two in.
If you told us this at the beginning of the season, they wouldn't have believed it. It's a lot of dedication, a lot of hard work.
