Benitez shows off 'South Park' socks

Rafael Benitez donned some eye-catching socks as his Newcastle team came from behind to draw against Sunderland.

EXTRA TIME
Rafael Benitez celebrated making his home debut as Newcastle manager by wearing his lucky socks.

Well, Extra Time assumes they were his lucky socks. Why else would he wear bright yellow socks with characters from "South Park" featuring on them?

Could it be Rafa's subtle message to his new Newcastle player to "respect mah authoritah"? Or were his black-and-white-striped socks in the wash? Who cares — this is great.

Is it me or is Rafa Benitez wearing socks with the South Park policeman on.
