Everton skipper Phil Neville was a recipient of some less than encouraging words and could have used a good pair of earplugs to block out the excessive noice clogging his ears from scum at anfiled.
In fact,
Everton management have asked the local police to look into an incident which involved the
Everton captain being hit in the back by a
Liverpool fan during the very same match. Toffee left-back Joleon Lescott was also a subject of unprecedented abuse from the Reds' supporters.
"Not only was Joleon Lescott subjected to an afternoon-long barrage of quite disgusting and quite audible abuse, Phil Neville was seemingly spat at several times and was also punched in the back by a supporter as he took a throw-in," said
Everton PR man Ian Ross.
"We have asked Merseyside Police and our Safety Officer to look into the matter."
Disgusting behaviour and the one who punched Neville in the back has been caught banned I heard for 3 years and about a £500 fine. he was also about 60 years of age, can you believe that?
Now we just need some of the scum who were spitting.
