The web is awash with rumours that, following the success of the ‘Kick Racism Out of Football’ initiative, the FA is about to launch a new campaign targeting the elimination of all bullying at Tottenham Hotspur.
The news comes after Michael Dawson revealed that he has been on the wrong end of bullying on the White Hart Lane playground (I first read this story on the Off The Post blog). It is alleged that witty Spuds team-mates fooled recently-signed Dawson into making a presentation during a team talk ahead of a game against his old club Nottingham Forest, before laughing cruelly at him. Rumours that they also put drawing pins on his chair and called him names haven't been substantiated.
A source close to the club said: “Michael is a great sport but can’t take all this on his own – he’s only small. Just because he only gets in the team because the better players are never fit is no reason to call him names.”
God bless spurs! Ten men went to laugh, went to laugh at Tottenham...
