Clattenburg Shares Shocking Tunnel Tale…
Mark Clattenburg has finally spilled the beans on why he could only respond one way after Craig Bellamy got way too personal and gave a new meaning to ‘ball control’ in the Man City tunnel. Their relationship was already rocky, like a game of football played on a trampoline, and this shocking incident at the Etihad Stadium just added icing to their wobbly cake. Bellamy was a notorious figure in football, known for pushing boundaries – and referees, apparently – and their issues date back to a clash at Bolton in 2009.
During a tense match, Bellamy was sent off by Clattenburg, which seemed to ignite a lifelong rivalry, similar to Batman and the Joker but with more Premier League style. When Bellamy decided to test the strength of Clattenburg’s resolve – and his shorts’ resilience – Clattenburg surprisingly took it in stride, finding humor in the bizarre moment. He’s now left with a unique story to tell on the ‘Undr The Cosh’ podcast, and football fans are left wondering if Bellamy should practice self-control as well as his dribbling skills in future tunnel encounters.
