Changing Room Chat: Ugly scenes mar the bootiful game

A FOOTBALLER in Swaziland has pleaded with his club’s supporters to give him back his boots after they were taken while he was fleeing furious fans following a 5-1 loss at the weekend.

Mfanufikile Ndzimandze of Mbabane Highlanders said he dropped his boots when he and coach Sipho Xaba were chased by fans after Highlanders’ worst defeat in 22 years.

Ndzimandze said: “The situation was so bad no one was safe from the fans. I lost the boots as we were running to board the kombi (bus) some of the fans wanted to beat us up.”
