LIFELONG Sunderland fan Steve Cram has found the purr-fect way to show his support for the club's new manager.

The former athlete has a pet cat, which was previously named Little Gus, after Sunderland manager Gus Poyet.

But the Uruguayan was dismissed yesterday and quickly replaced until the end of the season by Dutchman Dick Advocaat, prompting Cram to change the moggy's name - to Advo-cat.

Cram's partner, Allison Curbishley, has this morning confirmed the about turn on Twitter, posting a picture of the newly named feline.
