Joe Royle maintained it was the best substitution he never made. Behind that Everton dressing room door though, his words carried a little more menace.
'Well done Daniel,' said the Everton manager. 'But you ever try that s*** again and you'll be finished.'
Daniel Amokachi's face breaks into a broad gap-toothed smile, a threat from the manager doesn't often follow victory in an FA Cup semi final but then Amokachi wasn't even meant to be on the pitch.
It's 26 years since Everton and Tottenham last met in the FA Cup and Amokachi stole that occasion at Elland Road after one of the most bizarre substitutions ever made.
