Sunderland AFC's football practice was delayed on Monday for nearly two hours at the Stadium of Light when Rat Boy (Kevin Phillips) found traces of white powder and phoned the authorities.

Rat Boy (pictured right), while on his way to the changing room happened to look down and notice a suspicious-looking, unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Manager Peter Reid immediately suspended practice while the Special Branch was called in to investigate.

After a complete field analysis, Special Branch determined that the white substance unknown to the players was, in fact, the goal line.

Practice was resumed when Special Branch officers decided that the team would not be likely to encounter the substance again
