Hats off, and three cheers, for the unnamed club official who, according to the back page of today's Sun, forcibly removed Sunderland manager Roy Keane from Steve Coppell's office after Reading's 2-1 win.
Sounds like a man you would want alongside you in the trenches. Someone prepared to go above and beyond the call of duty. Possibly ex-SAS, or a part-time cage fighter. Or maybe he just has a death wish.
Strange, though, that the Sun never produced a picture of the Madejski hero.
Or a few words from him about how this insignificant jobsworth frogmarched the scariest man in sport down the club's corridors and out into the car park.
Odd, too, that the Sunderland Echo never chased what would appear to be a better than average local story for them. Certainly better than their usual back page fare of "Points Vital, Says Keano"
Or maybe they also worked out that the have-a-go official a figment of a sports desk's imagination. As was Keane's alleged tantrum.
As for the "unnamed Reading player", quoted as the witness, what was he doing taking drinks in the manager's office after a match?.
