"I was so jealous of my old Leeds team mates.  I kept thinking it could have been us out there if our season hadn't fizzled out.  It was really disappointing, the way we fell away in our last ten games, and I came away from Wembley determined that next time it would be Tranmere out on that lovely pitch."

"Our aim at the start of this season was to reach the Play-Offs and right now we're quite well placed but this time we have to build up the momentum instead of falling away."

Ian Moore is Hoping to End His Season at Wembley with Tranmere!

After leaving Rovers for Nottingham Forest for £1million in 1997, Rovers current top scorer for this season had spells at Stockport, Burnley and Leeds United before moving to Hartlepool at the start of last season. 

However,  personal reasons meant the constant travel to the North East was unworkable and in the January 2008 transfer window, Moore was re-united with his dad Ronnie who had previously been assistant at Prenton Park in Ian's last playing spell at Rovers.

"It was good to come back to Tranmere.  I'd always wanted to end my career here and hopefully I'll be able to do that.  I'd also always wanted to play for one of my dad's teams and it would have been nice to maybe have done that in my early 20's, but I'm enjoying it now."

"I've talked to a lot of lads who've played for him over the years and they all say what a great team spirit his teams have, and that's certainly the case at Tranmere these days."

"Hopefully that spirit can help us finish this season better than we did last year and we can end up playing our last game of the campaign at Wembley."

Moore's interview first appeared on the Football League Website.
