The moment I stepped on to the pitch for the pre-match handshakes, I knew that I’d made a massive mistake. He looked me dead in the eye and gave...

I seem to remember a game against Bright when Zamora got booked for throwing the ball at a ballboy because he thought he'd been too slow giving the ball back?
