Brighton's Emotional Journey

Brighton head coach Dario Vidosic is leading the squad four months after his father, Rado Vidosic, died from cancer.

Rado had been serving as the head of coaching for the Brighton women's team.

The 39-year-old former Australia midfielder said his father remains central to his motivations ahead of the Wembley appearance.

"He's always in my thoughts," said Dario Vidosic. "I know he's always been there for me, from when I was a very small child.

He'd be working all day, but he'd always make effort to play with me, to be in the back garden and take me out and kick the ball around and just help me, and it was the same as a coach."

Vidosic added that his father demonstrated immense perseverance while battling his illness.

"It was very sad to see what he went through [with cancer], but even through that, he still taught me some valuable lessons," said Vidosic.

"When something feels like it's going to defeat you, he still never gave up until the very, very last moment.

He was still fighting it, still trying to get up, still trying to move, not letting it beat him.

Even in his final moments, he still taught me so much. He showed me a strength that I didn't know was possible."
