Everton's owner and chairman claims manager Moyes has achieved miracles to transform a club down on their luck, and almost down in the Championship, to one now considered European regulars.

Moyes, named the League Managers' Association Manager of the Year on Tuesday for the third time, will lead Everton out at Wembley on Saturday for the FA Cup final against Chelsea aiming to claim his first trophy since joining the Merseysiders.

And Kenwright said of the Scot: "In March 2002 this club changed from the day that David Moyes arrived. He has made this club believe they can look upwards, and for that more than anything else we worship him.

"He deserves all the accolades and awards that he can get. He has made us more ambitious than any other club.

"To beat Chelsea at Wembley would be a massive, massive achievement because they are one of the top four clubs.

"But we have already beaten two of those already to get to the final, Liverpool and then Manchester United, so we know we can do it.

"We almost achieved the Champions League group stages a couple of years back, losing in the qualifiers. And what kind of achievement is it that since 2002 and how he found this club, David has turned us into virtual European regulars?

"The man has achieved miracles," Kenwright added. "It has been be a big enough achievement securing fifth place in the league, certainly after the way this season started with those first three months of barely winning anything.

"But the cup final is something else, I have dreamt of something like this. I dreamt of being chairman back in the days when I was watching from the boys' pen. Then when I took over the club I dreamt of a cup final. David dreams too.

"We talk about silverware and moving the club forward all the time. But David has amassed the greatest team of players I can recall who just want to play their hearts out for this club."
