The Magic Sponge podcast and explained that an argument over where he could hang his clothes led to him headbutting Bothroyd. "Everyone was a winner - there was fisticuffs every other day, people arguing left, right and centre," Noble said. "We had Fulham away, I’d taken my top off, put it on a peg, and gone out to look at the pitch.

As I’ve come back in, Jay’s clothes are on the peg – I’ve gone 'I’m sitting there, Jay', took his off and put mine on."He’s come over, took mine off and put his on – now everyone’s looking and it’s becoming a scene.

We’re arguing and he's huge, he was six foot five at 17 or 18, and we're squaring up over whose tracksuit is going on which peg."I’ve just gone 'bomp,' a little headbutt in his mouth, he’s gone back, people have gone in the way, but his arms are seven foot long and people are in the way but he's swung it around them and clumped me in the ear.

I could not hear out my ear for about three weeks."Don Givens, who was the manager at the time, had to take me next door, where I got changed with just me and him, this was before a youth team game and everyone else was getting changed in there." HAVE YOUR SAY!
