Head of Marketing at Isuzu UK, George Wallis, said: 'Every year there's a great deal of excitement going into Non-League Finals Day. With both fixtures very difficult to predict, it is set to be an enormously entertaining spectacle. Our partnership with the FA Vase and Trophy showcases our commitment to being the driving force behind non-league football.'
Former England captain, Stuart Pearce, reflected on his non-league roots and the importance of playing at Wembley Stadium as a player: 'I grew up in the borough of Wembley, seeing the stadium there and playing non-league football for Wealdstone. Non-League Finals Day is a brilliant occasion, the opportunity of playing at Wembley and getting their hands on one of these trophies will create truly unforgettable memories for these players.'
