Savage to face FA hearing

Last updated : 24 July 2002 By Brian Cartlidge

Blues' recent signing will appear before a F.A hearing at St Andrew's on Tuesday, August 13th to answer a charge of misconduct.

Savage was charged after using referee Graham Poll's toilet before Leicester City's home game Aston Villa at Filbert Street on April 20th last season.

He has always protested his innocence, claiming he used the referees toilet as a last resort after suffering a stomach upset brought on by antibiotics.
