A few stats following today's FA Cup Final won by Chelsea:

Didier Drogba became the first player to score in 4 different FA Cup Finals.

John Terry became the first player to captain a club to 4 FA Cup wins.

Ashley Cole beat his own record for FA Cup wins as a player, setting a new mark of 7 wins (3 with Arsenal, 4 with Chelsea).

This was the first final since 1989 in which both managers had previously won the cup as a player (Roberto di Matteo and Kenny Dalglish).

In winning the Cup Roberto di Matteo became the 16th winning manager to have also won the cup as a player. Kenny Dalglish is one of the other 15.

Roberto Di Matteo became the 3rd Italian manager in a row to win the FA Cup following Carlo Ancelotti in 2010 and Roberto Mancini last year.

No goalkeeper has won more FA Cup's then Petr Cech

True - but when Man City win the title next week, they'll be another team to have won it and have been relegated previously.

How times have changed over the last decade - Blackburn's fortunes plummeted and City's very much on the way back.
