There is a new bruiser in town. No it's not Vinnie Jones. No it's not Robbie Savage. It's Adrian Bastia a.k.a. Polaco. Never heard of him? Don't worry neither had I. But I know the name now because this guy is someone special.
A brilliant moment of comedy arrived at the end of Panathinaikos’ 1-1 home draw with Asteras Tripolis on Saturday.
With the game drifting to its natural conclusion, the visitors made a late substitution to presumably look to waste a few valuable seconds as they sought to claim a point on the road. As the substitution was unfolding, a youth managed to run onto the pitch, but quickly found himself being chased by two security officials.
Running for his freedom, the youth headed towards a group of players, where Asteras’ forward Adrian Bastia was standing. And rather than let the officials catch the kid, Bastia decided to take matters into his own hands, kicking the little punk around the knee, sending the kid tumbling to the floor. Once grounded, the ground staff pounced. But that was not the end of the matter.
Having seen the incident, the man in black immediately sent off the ponytailed striker, in a truly bizarre moment. Cue the instant kerfuffle on the pitch between the players.
Let this be a lesson to all you little Greek punks and all pitch invaders out there, if you step on the pitch with big boys, you're going to get hurt. Maybe even humiliated.
This is just good TV. I mean giving the guy a red card for knocking him down when this kid is interrupting the game is pretty ridiculous. How is he supposed to know what this little brat is going to do. I say well done Polaco. He did those fat security guards a favor. Although they probably could have used the run. If you are going send the guy off, do it for that nasty haircut he is sporting. "You're going bald mate. Let it go ehh!"
