    Is this the most bizarre substitution in FA Cup history?

    Former Everton striker Daniel Amokachi invoked the fury of his manager by substituting himself onto the pitch during the 1995 FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham.

    In a historic moment in the FA Cup, former Everton manager Joe Royle was forced to admit that Daniel Amokachi was: ''The best substitution I never made.''

    Everton were leading Tottenham 2-1 in the semi-final, when Amokachi decided to substitute himself on, much to the indignation of his coach. Despite the gamble, the striker scored twice within ten minutes and his risky move was a roaring success. 

    Tottenham were then wiped out from that point onwards, with Everton going on to claim a 4-1 win over Spurs.

    To top it all off, The 'Toffees' then met Manchester United in the final, and clinched the FA Cup title with a 1-0 victory at Wembley Stadium.
