Is this the most bizarre substitution in FA Cup history?

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.
