Prompted by an article I’ve read on the internet who is the maddest, craziest character you have ever seen on a football pitch either for what they did on the pitch or off it or even both? A few spring to mind for me such as Ketsbai or Gazza or Cantona but after some thought one player stands head and shoulders above the rest… the one the only Tino Asprilla. Several articles about Tino below but if there was a “King of Characters “ that King would have been Tino. I absolutely adored him then and still do now. As I’ve said there have been characters before and since but Tino was just in a different class. https://www.planetfootball.com/nost...osit-as-there-were-bullet-holes-in-the-walls/ https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spo...s/alan-shearers-hilarious-story-tino-18171838 https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8025348/faustino-asprilla-newcastle-porn/
Kenny Wharton was crazy when he sat on the ball v Luton 1980's Steve Foster didn't take to kindly for that chasing Kenny off the pitch with his size 12's kicking his arse
As in crazy players. Ok none NUFC has to be the crazy gang Vinnie Jones. Who grabs Gaza’s balls and gets away with it. As for NUFC players in my lifetime it goes to Craig Bellamy. He swung a golf club at someone. He was angry almost all the time. But I loved him. Special mention to Maradona. Complete and utter looney.
