Goalkeeper Tony Thompson was vandalized
Halfway through the game, goalkeeper Tony Thompson, 28, replaced his water bottle.
A few seconds later, he drank someone else’s urine – and was kicked out.
He writes “Today I lost my love for the sport” Twitter.
Warrington Town lost 1-0 to Guiseley in the second leg on Saturday of the FA Cup, the English cup in which only semi-professional and amateur clubs are allowed to participate.
Barely an hour later, the team’s goalkeeper, Tony Thompson, was sent off.
This is after a Guiseley fan, behind his own goal, was sprayed with the water bottle.
Video clips circulated
A few hours later, he explained his behavior Twitter.
The goalkeeper writes today, I lost my love for the sport.
“I’ve been called a lot of things but for someone to pee in my bottle, for me to drink it and then be told I can’t fight back because I’m a player… It’s crazy. That person has put me and my family at health risks and made me sick.”
Then, a clip went viral Twitter Where a supporter is seen replacing a Thompson water bottle with an identical one.
On Sunday morning, Gisley sent out a press release announcing that the incident had been reported to the police. Videos from the match will now be scanned further to try and identify the person.
“disgraceful incident”
He added, “We unreservedly condemn this shameful event. If the person is identified, he will be banned for life from attending Guisley matches.”
Warrington Town plays daily in the non-league, which is one step after League Two in the English league system.
Over the years, Tony Thompson has bounced around the English league system, representing clubs such as Altrincham, Morecambe, Southport and Rotherham.
