He of that classic mazy, dribbly goal at Old Trafford for Derby County, the gangly Paulo Wanchope got himself into a spot of bother recently during Costa Rica’s U23 Olympic qualifier against Panama.
The 39-year-old, who is the current boss of the senior Costa Rican national side, wanted to go onto the pitch to complain to the fourth offical about a decision. However, when the former Man City and West Ham man was told he wasn’t allowed, he first shoved a very young steward before getting into an almighty scrap with a security guard who was half his size. Ugly scenes indeed!
