BELLAMY vs RIISE

When Liverpool were drawn to take on Barcelona in the 2006- 07 Champions League, a trip to the Algarve seemed like perfect preparation. Or not: John Arne Riise and Craig Bellamy got on each other’s nerves while out socialising, before Bellamy ran into the Norwegian’s hotel room with a golf club. “He tried to hit my shins, which would have ended my career,” said Riise. Serious injury avoided, the pair headed for the Camp Nou, where Bellamy swung an imaginary golf club to celebrate his equaliser... before setting up Riise for the winner. Par for the course.
