There are crime fighters and street fighters and Fulham's Sean Davis
could be deemed to have a bit of both inside his often-torrid temperament
following a forearm smash he received from Italy's Daniele Bonera.
Towards the back end of Monday night's 2-1 defeat, while playing for
the England Under-21s against their Italian counterparts, Davis received
a smack in the mouth from Bonera that led to the defender's dismissal.
"It was disgraceful," fumed Davis.
"He punched me straight in the face. I tried to run across him and
he just gave me a right hook.
"I was shocked more than anything but he had to go for that."
Of course the instincts of the Clapham-born midfielder came to the fore
when he added: "I don't think he would do it off the pitch, but there
were ten other players out there protecting him.
"Fortunately the referee saw it and sent him off straight away."
