FISTICUFFS BETWEEN TWO GENTS! WHO'S YOUR MONEY ON?

 An interest in antiques, art and a preference for The Guardian newspaper as opposed to The Sun, led married father-of-two, Graeme Le Saux to have his "sexuality" questioned throughout his career. Rumour has it that David Batty made a comment along those lines when the two were playing together for Blackburn Rovers on this day in 1995 away at Spartak Moscow in the Champions League. After clattering into one another as they went for the same ball, they traded insults and then Le Saux threw a few punches at his team mate!!

Following retirement in 2004, David Batty has lived his life away from the media spotlight and very rarely gives interviews about his career. It is well publicised by some of his former teammates that he cared very little for football and merely saw it as a job he did because he was good at it, as opposed to loving the sport.
