Ross Barkley received an FA Cup winners medal at Wembley following Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Manchester United on Saturday, despite barely making an appearance in the competition.
The former Everton starlet and unused substitute on the day was only included in the action for 17 minutes all season but nevertheless appeared on the pitch after the final whistle in full kit.
Rival fans were quick to judge and these were the best of the tweets and jokes as Ross Barkley picked up FA Cup winners medal:
Ross Barkley "I left Everton because I was fed up watching finals on T.V. I wanted to experience one from the bench & now I have. Sitting in those big seats is what it's all about"
