Northampton Chronicle and Echo writes:
“The tension culminated when the Northys Lights goalkeeper conceded a goal and looked about to be sent off for arguing with Mr Durrant.
According to the witness statement of one player, an off-duty policeman, Galvin walked up to Durrant and punched him once in the face, knocking him to the ground, before turning and walking off the pitch.
Galvin, who the court heard was already on an anger management course at the time, was later arrested for assault, which he admitted.
His team has subsequently been banned for life from all Inter Soccer’s leagues across the UK.”
I’ve previously reported on people throwing coins getting bans, but this is getting out of hand. It’s not respect.
