Alan Pardew admits he REGRETS his infamous FA Cup final dance after his Crystal Palace side went on to lose late on at Wembley against Manchester United in 2016 as former boss reveals 'people remember it, unfortunately!'

Alan Pardew has confessed that he regrets his infamous 'dad dance' during Crystal Palace's 2016 FA Cup Final defeat.

After substitute Jason Puncheon put the Eagles 1-0 up against Manchester United in 78th minute, the former manager's first instinct was to turn out to the nearest camera and throw his best shapes in celebration.

It should have gone down as iconic FA Cup-crowning moment but, embarrassingly, it proved to be premature as Juan Mata equalised just two minutes later for United before Jesse Lingard won it for the Red Devils in extra-time.
