Eyal Berkovic has lost none of his charm
The sulks, the stamped foot, the pout: that's right, he was just like an eight-year-old being taken off during a primary-school match. In which case, the Hull manager, Phil Brown, should be grateful that that player was not accompanied by his dad. [LNB]Danny Etzioni, the coach of a school under-nines team in Israel, was not so fortunate. When he made a tactical switch recently, he was subjected to a tirade of abuse from the subbed player's father. "I'll screw you, I'll see you are finished. I'll come after you for the rest of your career," were among the few printable threats.

[LNB]Who was the miscreant? Eyal Berkovic, the former West Ham player. And he always looked so mild-mannered on the pitch. Clearly that kick in the head he got from John Hartson during training had more significant complications than we thought.[LNB]
