The BBC describe him as a Sunderland legend, which is fair enough. I was there at Wembley that day when he scored the goal that beat Leeds, and that alone would be enough for the man to be looked on with fondness by most Chelsea supporters.BBC report here

R.I.P.

Watching Leeds lose, what else? No seriously, I was outside Wembley with a few other Chelsea fans. We used to turn up at Wembley for Cup Finals, just for the crack, you know? I just happened to have a Sunderland scarf round my neck (don't ask), and this bloke comes up to me: "hey man ha you gor a ticket?" he asks. "No man" says I in my best Macam. "There ya go man" says he, and hands me a ticket which just happens to be for the Leeds end. The first half was a bit hairy, but at half time the Old Bill let me through to the Sunderland end, so I was with them when they scored.

Ok then. Since you ask. There I was, strolling along minding my own business. As you do. And what should I spy with my little eye but a brand new silk Sunderland scarf wot some poor Macam must obviously have lost. And it being a cold day for the time of year, I thought to myself, "I can't let this go to waste. I shall pick it up and wrap it round my neck so i don't catch a cold or anyfing.

There you go, all quite innocent, of course.
