HALF-TIME SCRAP WITH COLLEAGUE

An argument between team-mates was not just a quick, passing thing. The pair started arguing during the first half of a 2000 game and carried on their disagreement into the dressing room and through half-time. It was verbal until they came to the dressing room where the pair of strikers actually came to blows. It ended when one player refused to come out for the second half. It can’t have been big-match tension that got the pair so worked up because the incident was at a reserve team match in front of a sparse crowd.
