After his second goal he did go a bit mental I seem to remember, and it looked like it was just directed towards the Sunderland fans in general. No idea why.
The story was that some Mackem fans gave hm some grief for being a traitor to their cause. I've a feeling that there was a story from around then that someone in the crowd threatened him if he ever came back to Sunderland.

That's about right, the Sunderland fans (a couple of them) are suppossed to have done the finger across the throat thing. The guy whose penalty was saved (How can I forget his name) had the windows on his house smashed - they took our win badly !!!
Michael Gray certainly wasn't vilified after the Wembley penalty miss, far from it, it was reported in the Sunderland Echo that the SoL switchboard was actually jammed with fans support for him...
You might have got a few nutters who go over the top and making ridiculous threats but that's football all over...
And as for Super Clive, he returned to Sunderland a few days later and he was given a real sporting reception by Sunderland fans...
In fact he now lives in Sunderland and I talk to him now and then in the Roker Hotel...

the window smashing was in the press. Although that is no guarantee of truth.
Super Clive (to give him his correct title) was questioned in the media prior to the game, about maybe having "divided" loyalties. His response on scoring was there for all to see !
[cite]Posted By: Valiantphil[/cite]Love the second Mendonca goal for his ball control, but never tire of the build up to his 3rd - check out the Steve Brown tackle that starts the move.
"That" tackle by Stevie Brown (won't let you down) was pure class, I get goose-pimples just thinking about it

(no idea about the answer...but probably a Sunderland supporting relative?)
I thought it was a positive swear.....
If that makes sense.....
Tell me if im wrong
He could foresee a takeover was never going to happen.

Of course! Thanks - Charlton Legend

It's an Alan Partridge joke.
