Russian Striker Does A Cantona
Striker Aleksandr Shirko, who plays for Russian whipping boys FC Shinnik Yaroslavl made the headlines over the weekend for doing what Eric Cantona did 10 years ago.
No, not putting in displays of sheer excellence on the pitch and scoring sublime goals, but getting into the crowd and giving someone a damn good hiding.
Bottom club Shinnik were walloped 6-1 at home against Rostov and the players endured plenty of abuse throughout the match from their own fans.
Shirko obviously took more offence than most and after the match, waded into the crowd to dish out a little Iron Curtain justice.
