Roy Keane will extend his record of having the most amount of FA Cup Final Apperances of any modern day player when he gets his 7th appearance in a final on Saturday. THe record is 9 and is held by Lord Finnard who played in the 1900's. If Man Utd win the match Keane will have 5 FA Cup Winners medals which will equal the record also held by Lord Finnard. Keane will have to go down as the greatest modern day FA Cup Player.

And if Man U hadn't skipped a year, he might have had even more. Did he ever score in a final ? Not sure it follows that if you play in the most finals, you're ipso facto the greatest FA CUp player of all time.

Well in my view 7 finals is some achievement, and four of them as a winners. Not sure who was more successful in the modern day in the FA CUp.

Indeed it is. I'd probably go for Ian Rush though with 39 FA Cup goals (most by any player) and 3 winners medals.
