      I broke a supporter’s nose in a pub brawl.. then days later scored an iconic winning goal for Man Utd in an FA Cup final

      by

      A FORMER Manchester United star has revealed how he broke a supporter’s nose days before scoring in United’s 1977 FA Cup final victory.His goal denied Liverpool from winning a historic treble in 1977, with The Reds having already had the league wrapped up.Stuart Pearson’s (left) goal helped Manchester United to winning the 1977 FA CupCredit: RexThey then went on to win the European Cup that year, so it was just as well United denied them the privilege.Stuart Pearson, 74, was known as ‘Pancho’ during his playing days due to his forthright attitude, which was forged by his three years working for the electricity board before turning pro at Hull City.He revealed in an interview with the Mail that it was common to be climbing poles more than 150 foot high during his teen years, so football always felt like a doddle when compared to that.He had also spent some time as a junior boxer, and would celebrate goal with a raised clinched fist in reference to his fighting days.READ MORE MAN UTDIn the clip of his goal in ’77, you can see his hand is bandaged.He explained why to the Daily Mail, saying: “I’d had a bit of a do with a supporter earlier in the week.”We’d gone out for a few drinks the Tuesday before Wembley and some guy starts having a proper go at me in the toilets.”He thought he was being smart so we had a bit of a ding-dong and I broke his nose.Most read in FootballPearson now works in the hospitality lounges at Old TraffordCredit: Manchester UnitedCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS”The news didn’t get out. I had a quiet word with our physio Laurie Brown who said it was probably broken, and he put something on it.”I can’t even remember what the argument had been about. Many years later, a lad came up to me at five-a-side at Sale Leisure Centre and told me it was his Dad that I’d hit.Henning Berg’s Son Following In Man Utd Legend’s Footsteps”He wasn’t angry mind you – he said his old man was an idiot!”United take on Liverpool today as they again look to stop them winning multiple trophies in one season.With the Carabao Cup in the bag, the Reds could still win the FA Cup, Premier League and Europa League.Speaking on whether United could stop Liverpool from taking a step towards a quadruple today, Pearson said: “I’d love to see United beat Liverpool again but you can’t honestly say which United will turn up – they are inconsistent. “I joke to people that I’ve lost my hair watching them over the years.”Luke Shaw is one of my favourite players, he is very steady, but he’s injured. Casemiro was super last year but has struggled more this season.”He now works in the hospitality lounges at Old Trafford, and no doubt will be telling punters about the time he helped United win the FA Cup over their old rivals today.

      Mike Dean lost for words live on Sky Sports after VAR mix up for ‘stonewall’ penalty during Premier League clash

      by

      FORMER Premier League referee Mike Dean was left dumbfounded by VAR confusion during Burnley’s 2-1 win over Brentford.Defender Sergio Reguilon was dismissed in the eighth minute for denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity, with Vincent Kompany’s men also awarded a penalty.Sky Sports thought the VAR monitor was not working but they were incorrectCredit: PAMike Dean was left baffled by the VAR – which turned out to be working perfectlyCredit: Sky SportsAnd Dean confirmed in Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday studio before the decision was made that it should be a red card and spot kick.As referee Darren Bond went to the pitchside monitor after originally not awarding the penalty, Dean said: “Stonewall [penalty], he has kneed him in the back of the leg and there is a push as well. Paul Tierney is the VAR and he has sent Darren [Bond] over.”It will be an interesting decision really because if the penalty stands, he [Reguilon] has made no attempt to play the ball so it could be a potential red card, too.”But Dean was then left baffled as those in the Sky Sports studio could not see anything on the VAR monitor.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLDean added: “It’s plugged in but there’s no pictures right now.”It’s not the fault of the refs or the VAR, it’s actually the people running the system, so something technical went wrong somewhere.”This was actually not the case, with Sky Sports subsequently clarifying that the VAR technology was working fine.In fact, the five-minute stoppage to assess the incident was largely due to the VAR analysing an offside in the build-up.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSThe penalty and red card were eventually dished out, before Jacob Bruun Larsen converted the spot kick in the 10th minute.David Datro Fofana doubled Burnley’s lead shortly after the hour mark, before Kristoffer Ajer pulled one back for Brentford late on.Ex-Premier League referee Mike Dean embarrassed live on Sky Sports and told ‘get to Specsavers’ during Soccer SaturdayIt is Burnley’s first win in 12 games – a run which stretches back to December.But they are still eight points adrift of Premier League safety with just nine games remaining.

      Todd Boehly hailed as Chelsea rake in cool £4m from Fulham after Armando Broja’s disastrous loan transfer

      by

      TODD BOEHLY was hailed by fans yesterday after Chelsea made £4million on Armando Broja.The forward, 22, came through the Chelsea academy and is currently on loan at Fulham.Chelsea will now receive a £4million fee for Armando BrojaCredit: RexUsually in cases where a team receives a windfall with a player out on loan, it’s because they have hit a certain amount of appearances or scored a number of goals.In Chelsea’s case though, it’s the opposite.In order to encourage Fulham to play Broja, Chelsea agreed to waive a loan fee if the forward started in 60 per cent of Fulham’s matches.But, the forward has not started a single Premier League game since moving to the fellow West London club.READ MORE CHELSEA NEWSAnd after he was left out of yesterday’s squad for Fulham’s 3-0 victory over Spurs, it became mathematically impossible for Broja to start 60 per cent of Fulham’s games.So that’ll see Fulham pay £4m for taking a punt on the Albanian striker.That saw some Chelsea fans hailing Boehly’s business acumen on X, with one writing: “Damn who agreed to this deal? Boehly & Egbali will never miss 🤣”In a roundabout way though, his signature has actually been worth the money for the Cottagers.Most read in FootballCredit: The SunCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSThe increased competition has seen Brazilian forward Rodrigo Muniz become one of the form players in the Premier League.No player has scored more goals than him in the league since February, with a tally of seven in seven games.Every Premier League club’s most famous and also most surprising fanHis brace yesterday against Spurs ensured an easy victory for Fulham and put a massive dent in Tottenham’s top four hopes.Fulham are currently 12th in the Prem on 38 points, one point behind rivals Chelsea.They have played two more games than the Blues, however.
