Ramos won consecutive UEFA Cups and the Copa del Rey in two seasons at Sevilla before coming to England, and has now ended Spurs' trophy drought within four months of taking over at White Hart Lane.

"Hopefully we can push on from this next year," said Woodgate. "I came to Tottenham to win trophies and I have done that. Hopefully it is not going to be the last one."

Spurs started brightly at Wembley but fell behind to Didier Drogba's opener, a free-kick that wrong-footed a poorly-positioned Paul Robinson.

Ramos changed Spurs' shape in the second half, playing three in defence at one stage after taking off Pascal Chimbonda for Tom Huddlestone, and the equaliser came with 20 minutes remaining.

Assistant referee Martin Yerby flagged for a handball by Wayne Bridge and Dimitar Berbatov sent Petr Cech the wrong way from the penalty spot, taking the match into extra-time.

Woodgate's winner came in the fourth minute of the extra 30, his initial header from Jermaine Jenas' free-kick getting saved by Cech but the rebound bouncing off the Spurs defender and over the line.

"To be honest with you I wasn't planning on going up," Woodgate added. "It was either me or Ledley King going up to see what we could cause.

"JJ put a great ball in and I just took a chance."
