Charnley Samurai spat - Partick Thistle, 1990 (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

One of the funniest stories I've read.

Some football hard-men are all bluster, but not the Partick Thistle legend Chic Charnley, who holds the record for most red cards in Scottish football. In 1990 Partick were training at Ruchill Park in Glasgow, when a group of local youths abused them. Charnley responded with some verbals, and the youths ran oﬀ, only for two of them to return, one wielding a Samurai sword. Charnley charged them, chasing them through Maryhill, by some accounts brandishing a traﬃc cone.

Yeah, agreed, I was only kidding really. Football will always be my game, but I do love a bit of cricket too, especially Test cricket.
