Craig Bellamy - Little Upstart
Newcastle United assistant manager Terry McDermott has branded former Magpie Craig Bellamy a “little upstart”.
Bellamy, who left St James’ Park under a cloud of animosity in 2005, was said to have interrupted a conversation McDermott was having with referee Mark Halsey after Liverpool’s beat Newcastle this week.
“It had nothing to do with anyone else and I take exception to little upstarts like him” McDermott fumed.
“He was 100 per cent out of order. Everywhere he has been he has been in bother and it is starting again at Liverpool”.
So is the Wales international a “little upstart” or merely a misunderstood genius? What is certain, however, is there is no love lost between the pair.
During Bellamy’s time at Newcastle, McDermott was incensed when the striker accused former manager Graeme Souness of stating he had feigned injury before a Premiership match at Arsenal in January 2005.
