UEFA today stunned the football world by handing out a severe penalty to
England international Lee Bowyer after finding him guilty of stamping on
an opponent during an UEFA cup match. Bowyer has been banned from
European competition for six games and made to sign for West Ham United.
The combination of the six game ban and enforced transfer to West Ham means
effectively Bowyer has been banned from European football for a minimum
of FIFTEEN years.
Bowyer himself is said to be philosophical after finally been caught on
CCTV stamping on a grounded opponent but does admit he is at least
partly to blame as he should have phoned a team mate to come and pick him
up
and destroyed his boots and socks like he normally does when he finds
himself in these situations ....
Bowyer's contract entitles him to a £1m bonus payment should West Ham
escape relegation, the contract is also believed to include payments
should he find Lord Lucan (£750k), prove the existence of
extra-terrestial life (£500k) or explain why the fcuk they paid several
million pound for Titi Camera (£250k).
Meanwhile official West Ham sources would make no comment on rumours
that West Ham are to change their away strip to a white sheet with a white
hood to make Bowyer feel more at home
