Amokachi narrates FA Cup event
Amokachi has explained that he substituted himself into the game without the coaches' approval.
Speaking to TalkSport, he said, “Rideout got a knock and went down, and if you play the same position, you jump off your feet and start warming up and getting ready.

“He got up but went down again. Everybody knew I was in very good shape and ready to go. I just went to Willie [Donachie, assistant manager] and I told him, ‘The gaffer says you need me on.
“When you look back at the clip, you can see how furious Joe Royle was. He ran to the touchline, saying, ‘What are you guys doing?' I looked back at him – we had done it already. If you pull me back, we'll play with one less anyway.
“Ten minutes later – bang, and then another goal – bang – and Everton were in the final. Legendary moments like that keep your name in the limelight.

“It was meant to be, because if I didn't score, then it would probably have been my last game for Everton.”
Everton went on to win the FA Cup final against Manchester United, with Amokachi becoming the first Nigerian to win the FA Cup.
