CLIVE IS NOT COOL FOR CATS

FOR KEEPS Penalty save hero Sasa Ilic

- MATT BOZEAT

THERE'S usually drama when there's a place in the Premier League up for grabs at Wembley.

In the play-off final in 1998, there were eight goals, a family divided and an epic penalty shoot-out.

Clive Mendonca grew up in Sunderland supporting the Black Cats and found himself playing for Charlton against the club he loved.

He remembered his family telling him: "We hope you score - and you get beat." And his sister and wife were celebrating midway through the first half.

They had bet on Mendonca opening the scoring - and there was a chance his goal would prove to be the winner.
