One of the most disgusting – and upsetting – acts I've ever seen on a football pitch in
Britain:
Of course, to call this a horror 'tackle' is grossly unfair on horror tacklers everywhere. This
was a flat-out assault: deliberate, brutal and criminal.
It is oft-repeated within football that smaller clubs may mean more to their supporters than
larger ones do. Whether this is an accurate summation of the relationship between clubs of
different sizes with their supporter bases is debatable, but there can be little question that the
work done by supporters of Blue Square South club Welling United over the last few weeks must count
as one of the more extraordinary acts of benevolence by a set of supporters in recent times.
