The day Harry Redknapp brought a fan on to play for West Ham
According to one of football's most endearing fairytales, Harry Redknapp once pulled an abusive fan from the crowd and put him on the field for West Ham. This allegedly happened in 1994, but no video and scant evidence of the incident exist. Jeff Maysh chased this mystery for over a decade before finally catching up with the fan in question

Maybe the Iraelis are more like some of their Arabic neighbours than they realise?

Wow, horrible stuff. I've always found African people to be some of the friendliest, warmest people I know.

Anywhere I have gone I have found warm friendly people, I'm sure Israel is the same.

We have our headbangers that like to shout abuse in the streets too, but in fairness by any standards that is quite a despicable mob.

I'm sure there are but I just mean that in my experience Africans are the friendliest people in the world.

I wasn't contradicting you. This would be a subjective issue anyway.

You're sound muppet (presume you're African). I was a bit contrary yesterday.  :)
