Chelsea players slammed for ditching FA Cup suits for tracksuits at Wembley before FA Cup final clash by Ian Wright


IAN WRIGHT was appalled with the Chelsea squad for turning up in tracksuits to the FA Cup final.

It is tradition for players to dress in suits for the prestigious fixture, and indeed that is what Leicester City’s players did.

Wright, 57, declared his support for Leicester for that reason alone, suggesting the Blues had been disrespectful.

The pundit was part of BBC’s Match of the Day Live coverage, and Gary Lineker asked Wright what he thought of Chelsea wearing tracksuits.

Wright replied: “I don’t like to see people turning up to the FA Cup in tracksuits.

“It’s not what this game is about, we saw all the lead-up, the suits is what it is about.

“Leicester I’m so pleased, that’s why I’m supporting Leicester, they’re respecting it.

“You’ve got to wear suits to the final, this is the day!”

Ashley Cole then chipped in to mention he still has his eight FA Cup final suits, having appeared in the fixture for both Chelsea and Arsenal.

Wright found that quip funny, but he was otherwise unamused by Chelsea’s showing ahead of kick-off.

The former Gunners striker knows a thing or two about FA Cup finals himself, having won the competition on two occasions.

He also has four final goals, with his double against Manchester United in the 1990 FA Cup almost giving Crystal Palace a famous win.
