Another week, another appearance for BoJo in a Top Ten list.
This one, though, isn’t for his quick wit, bons mots or swear-fuelled rant. Oh no. Quite bizarrely, Bozza has been included in the Top Ten TV Football Moments.
Well-respected football site Cheer Up Alan Shearer has recently concluded their top Ten TV football clips ranging from Delia Smith’s drunken rant to a streaker belting a twenty-five yard effort past a hapless goalkeeper. Boris made the list at Number Seven with his superb head-first tackle on ex-German international midfielder Maurizio Gardino in a charity match in 2006.
If you haven’t see the clip, it truly is brilliant. As was Bozza’s explanation for his, er, unfortunate contribution. “I’m a rugby player really and I knew I was going to get to him and when he was about two yards away I just put my head down. There was no malice in my actions. I was going for the ball with my head, which I understand is a legitimate move in soccer.”
Brilliant.
