Det bliver en hurtig én:

Hvem havde havde store nok nosser til at give Stuart Pearce en skalle?

Basile Bol

Netop!

Videre.

You just have to use things like that as a positive to spur you on. He headbutted me because I´d caught the fella I was marking – the winger – and Boli had seen it. It was a reaction to something I’d done. So I’ve gone down, maybe out of shock. It definitely wasn’t the blow that put me to the floor. It was more, "Hang on a minute."

You’d get crucified for saying it nowadays, but if a player headbutts you, common sense says go down, stay on the floor, they get a player sent off and on you go. People can´t say it’s diving, not if someone headbutts you in the face and splits your chin open, know what I mean?

So I go on the floor, the referee doesn’t see it and I think, there’s no point lying on the floor any more. I’d better get up. So then I went over to the fella I was marking and said it was him that done it. Just to put him on the back foot. And he was busy for the next 20 minutes denying it was him and probably sh*tting himself a little bit. So you use a negative as a positive to help your team. It was just one of those things.

The first question I was asked in the press conference was, “Were you headbutted?” and I said, “No, it was an innocent clash of heads,” because common sense told me that if I’d said it was deliberate, then the first thing they would have done was dig out all the footage of me over the years and I’d be crucified.

Boli faxed me at the hotel where we were staying afterwards and said, “Thanks for your sportsmanship,” because he realised that if I’d made a meal of it he’d be in the sh*t. But I’m of the philosophy that whatever happens on the football pitch stays there. That’s the way I’ve always lived my life and the way I’ve played the game. And no, I’ve never met him since.

-Stuart Pearce egne ord om hændelsen. En sand hædersmand.

Fri serv

En kamp mellem Dulwich Hamlet og Nunhead i oktober 1931 er eftersigende indehaver af hvilken rekord?

Længste kamp

Nej, det er ikke korrekt.

Der blev ikke tildelt nogen frispark. Er det forkert siger jeg: Der blev ikke tildelt nogen hjørnespark.

//hjst

Nej, heller ikke nogen af de rekorder. Jeg kan hjælpe ved at sige, at det ikke har noget at gøre med spillet på banen.

Vi må have Dopermann på banen. Han var sikkert teenager dengang kampen blev spillet ;-)
