Cambridge star Tom Champion gets hold of Manchester United shirt

Cambridge United's players were warned before their FA Cup clash with Manchester United that swapping shirts with one of the Premier League's finest would cost them 40 pounds.

Indeed, Cambridge coach Richard Money, despite his name, said: "We're not wealthy enough to give any of our shirts away. If they give their shirt away they're going to have to replace it."

So how do you get yourself a souvenir without having to pay for it? Follow Tom Champion's lead and manage to get Michael Carrick's shirt while still wearing yours, of course.

"Not one player asked me [if they could swap],'' Money said after the game. Cheeky!
