By the time of the Final he was out on loan @ Scunthorpe. He contacted Cardiff to try and get tickets for the Final but City refused to give him any!
He and his mates still went and paid for tickets themselves and apparently had a great weekend.

I read a similar story mate, think it was on here, copy and paste from the paper although iv read so much stuff I can't remember, what I do remember though was feeling conflicted about the story.
I'm sure his mates were Liverpool fans and what happened was cos he was still a player he thought he could still get tickets from the Club so he asked the Club and they said 'No' according to him because of Jones.
Now, I would imagine, the truth is more something like this, he was probably entitled to one, maybe two tickets as a player (I know Darcy Blake) and I'm sure officially he had something like 4 as a 'first team player' (he was on the bench that day), Jon Parkin comes across to me as someone who wants to blame everyone else for his downfalls from what I'v read anyway and my guess would be he asked the Club for 8 tickets for him and his mates and the Club said, sorry Jon you can only have 2 and forever the victim he think's thats a story worthy of his book which id be amazed if more than 300 people buy.

Ned, you could argue he retired years ago!
I don't get the sudden 'cult hero' thing, as my memory reminds me that he was far from a success' at this club and many were questioning his ability soon into his time here!
One great goal and some poor performances saw him shipped out almost as quickly as he came in
I believe there was no love lost between him and Malky either?

don't get the cult stuff either...your memory on this is fine. .he was crap made only 2 starts in the league and makes Tomlin look like Twiggy... Malky probably didn't give him tickets because he realised the rest of our fans in that section might also feel peckish.
