Gyan is pants - and vest

SUNDERLAND'S Asamoah Gyan is a big deal, even in his smalls.

Some players like to take off their shirts in celebration - but at the weekend the Ghana ace celebrated a 2-1 win over Blackpool by stripping himself of his shirt and shorts.

He duly threw these into the fans before parading around in his underpants and thermal vest.

He said: "I used to do that all the time in Italy. In south Italy, players have been doing that for a long time.

"After every game they would make sure they threw their jerseys and their shorts to the fans. I don't think its a big deal. I just want the fans to be happy."
