"West Ham defender Anton Ferdinand has been charged with assault and violent disorder."Nothing could be more alien to the spirit of this wonderful game than a sordid punch-up in a nightclub, but once again a tiny majority of vicious psycopaths is letting everyone down. There must be literally tens of football players who aren’t drunken thugs and wife-beaters.
It is time for them to speak out. Because if this is how the players behave then before you know it West Ham fans might also become violent and disorderly.
Has football lost its innocence?
