A tale of three ‘keepers today – two unlucky and one just stupid.
THEY say timing is everything in comedy – a principle well-known funny man and some-time goalkeeper Mark Bosnich should really have listened to.
For example Mark, if you decide it would be absolutely side-splittingly hilarious to do a quick Nazi salute, probably best to time it so you are not standing on a football pitch surrounded by 40,000 baying Spurs fans – many of them Jewish.
It was on this day in 1996 that Bosnich was hauled before the FA beaks after they had a sense of humour failure and charged him with misconduct for his comedy-gold gag. Click here for the whole sorry story.
On this day in 2006 two Chelsea goalkeepers had to be carried from the field of play after coming a cropper during their match at Reading. Read on here.
Ouch.
