Rio Ferdinand praises Patrick Vieira for putting pitch invader 'on his bum'
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand said the image of Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira putting a pitch invader "on his bum” was “nice to see”.The Eagles boss was recently told he would not face FA charges, after he appeared to strike out and kick a pitch invader who had confronted him on the pitch following Everton's survival clinching 3-2 home victory over Palace. This altercation followed the nasty assault of Sheffield United ace Billy Sharp, who required stitches after Nottingham Forrest fan Robert Biggs headbutted him after their play-off final clash.Biggs recently pleaded guilty to occasioning actual bodily harm and was subsequently sentenced to 24 weeks in jail.
