TWO Portsmouth players have ended up losers
after their FA Cup medals have gone missing from the team
hotel.
Defender Glen Johnson and back-up keeper Jamie Ashdown
both used their washbags to hide their winners' medals, but left
the bags behind in the plush team hotel by the Thames, a stone's
throw from Windsor Castle.
When the bags were returned, the medals were
missing.
Johnson said: "I'm devastated, this was the highlight
of my career, you can't imagine how much the medal means to me.
"It is something you want to treasure for your whole
life and show your kids and grandkids.
"I'm just hoping that if I can't get it back the FA
might consider making a replica for me, because it's so soon after
the match itself maybe they can see it as exceptional
circumstances."
