UEFA today stunned the football world by handing out a severe penalty

to England international Lee Bowyer after finding him guilty of stamping

on an opponent during an UEFA cup match.

 

Bowyer has been banned from European competition for six games and made

to sign for West Ham United.

The combination of the six game ban and enforced transfer to West Ham

means effectively Bowyer has been banned from European football for a

minimum of FIFTEEN years.

 

Bowyer himself is said to be philosophical after finally been caught

on CCTV stamping on a grounded opponent but does admit he is at least

partly to blame as he should have phoned a team mate to come and pick

him up and destroy his boots and socks like he normally does when he finds

himself in these situations ....

 

Bowyer's contract entitles him to a £1m bonus payment should West Ham

escape relegation, the contract is also believed to include payments

should he find Lord Lucan (£750k),prove the existence of

extra-terrestrial life (£500k) or explain why they paid several million

pound

for Titi Camera (£250k).

 

I got that as an email - fooking classic!
