The man whose goal produced one of the greatest English FA Cup final shocks has died at the age of 61.

Ian Porterfield, who fired second division Sunderland to victory over Leeds at Wembley Stadium in 1973, died at a hospice in Surrey last night.

Porterfield was diagnosed with colon cancer earlier this year, but carried on with his duties as manager of Armenia's national team until just before his death.

Indeed, he took charge of his side for their superb 1-1 draw against Portugal in Yerevan on August 22nd, which left Luiz Felipe Scolari's side facing a fight to qualify for the European Championship finals in Austria and Switzerland next summer.
