He copped a ball to the face, captured the hearts of a nation and ended up with the best seat in the house.
Meet the seagull who brought the FFA Cup final to a standstill.
The unlucky bird was struck senseless shortly after Tim Cahill's second half goal in the
Melbourne City's 1-0 win over Sydney FC last night.
Sydney FC keeper Danny Vukovic didn't know what to do but was eventually granted a stoppage by the referee so he could deliver the stricken gull to the sideline.
Nursed in the arms of a Sydney FC official the bird eventually came to, enjoying the remainder of the match from the Sky Blues bench.
