What is it with football's colourful characters sharing utterly bizarre stories on football chat shows.
Remember when Harry Redknapp gave an outspoken West Ham fan his debut in a pre-season friendly against Oxford City?
As football fans, it's only normal for us to think that we could do a better job than Player A in our club's team.

"I could have saved that" "I would have done better there" "I would have scored that" - all phrases that we've all thrown out at some point.
If you're saying them while you're stood behind the manager's dugout at a game, then chances are he's not going to be too happy.
A staunch West Ham fan, complete with tattoo and earring, was voicing his opinion to Redknapp just two minutes into the friendly, the Hammers supporter having a big problem with striker Lee Chapman.

Redknapp made a number of changes at the break as it was a friendly and an injury meant they only had ten men.
His solution was to give the heckling fan a run-out, as he recalls on an episode of the Jonathan Ross show.

Redknapp managed to convince the assistant tannoy guy that the fan was a Bulgarian international who had played in the World Cup and the best thing about the whole story is that the fan went upfront and scored!
Pure gold.
