I always thought Steve Clarke was one of football's good guys. [LNB]Until I read his comments regarding Herita Ilunga's antics at the Stadium of Light last weekend. [LNB]After firing a verbal volley in Steve Bruce's direction - the Geordie invoked the Scot's ire for calling the West Ham left-back 'a pansy' for his reaction to what was little more than a firm push - the Hammers' assistant manager let rip. [LNB] Low point: Herita Ilunga holds his face after being shoved by Kenwyne Jones[LNB]'I find it incredible that the player who was the victim is someone everyone is talking about,' he said. [LNB]'Someone pushed him in the face. He has recently recovered from a triple fracture of the jaw. Maybe he thought a punch was coming.[LNB] Bruce is wrong to comment on our players - fumes West Ham No 2 ClarkeGianfranco Zola insists he didn't go at it Hammers and tongs with furious Guillermo FrancoLEO'S LONDON: West Ham beware, the money men are out to take advantageWEST HAM UNITED FC
