I always forget that the Taylor handball red card, and the Bowyer + Dyer fight happened in the same game :lol: 

 

This interview from Steven Taylor recalling the event is hilarious.[emoji38]

 

Quote

“I didn’t realise how close the referee was. I thought he was further down the pitch and in my head I thought I had got away with it.

“When I got that red card it was the worst feeling in the world. My first professional red card but I got a standing ovation for that. To this day I don’t understand why they gave me it.

“I have gone down the tunnel in to the changing room and I have got my head in my hands thinking ‘what the hell has just happened there?’

“I’m thinking I’m going to get absolutely battered. I was thinking which player was going to get at me first and then I heard the studs coming down the tunnel.

“It was two of the players with the security guards and I was thinking what the bloody hell is going on here?

“Lee Bowyer’s come in and he’s got his shirt ripped, so I’m thinking Lee Bowyer has obviously had a fight with someone in their team on the pitch and Kieron Dyer, as a team-mate, has helped him out and looked after him.

“Until I heard Lee Bowyer say to Kieron Dyer ‘you can’t punch’.

“I walked into the players lounge and watched it on the plasma and when I had saw what had gone on, I’ll be honest, I was absolutely delighted.

“The pressure was taken right off me and the manager came in and dragged those two out to the media to explain themselves.

“The next day it was all about them and there was nothing about me until a week later when Soccer AM started continuously playing the clips.
