Cup and away: Goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown, left, and defender Glen Johnson had their medals stolen from their hotel room following the FA Cup victory

Former Chelsea star Johnson hopes the FA will make a replica if the medal is not returned.

Johnson said: "I'm devastated, this was the highlight of my career, you can't imagine how much the medal means to me," said Johnson.

"It is something you want to treasure for your whole life and show your kids and grandkids.

"I'm just hoping that if I can't get it back the FA might consider making a replica for me, because it's so soon after the match itself maybe they can see it as exceptional circumstances."

Portsmouth Football Club chief executive Peter Storrie added: "If anyone has taken these medals away they are depriving someone of their lifelong dream."
