Stray Given? David Dogea? Bark-Andre ter Stegen? Gianlugi Wooffon? Pat Jennings? Mark Schnauzer? Endless dog-goalie pun possibilities after this very good boy intervened in the Argentinian third division…
Pitch invader bites player
This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
Sunday’s Swiss Super League game between FC Thun and Zurich saw a pretty unusual pitch invader as a pesky pine marten ran amok. Players and officials gave chase although they couldn’t get near it until Zurich defender Loris Benito got touch tight with the furry fiend.
Unlike ourselves, Benito failed to do background research on the pine marten – time was tight, him being on the pitch ‘n’ all – and failed to note their sharp teeth, ideal for eating small mammals, birds, insects, frogs, and carrion. As a result he took a nasty nip, ouch.
