Fergie, Fergie, shut your mouth

LONDON: A man who punched Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson in the groin outside a London train station pleaded guilty Wednesday to assault.

Kevin Reynolds, a 43-year-old from Scotland who was described as a homeless "fighting drunk" in court, also admitted to attacking and racially abusing a police support officer who was called to the scene.

Ferguson was waiting to be picked up (??) outside the Euston train station in central London when the attack happened Monday afternoon. Ferguson had soreness and tenderness after being punched but was not seriously injured, officials told the City of London Magistrates Court.

The court was told that Ferguson thought the man staggering toward him was a beggar. Instead, Reynolds punched him and said: "I'm sorry Fergie, I did not know it was you."

Reynolds then allegedly chanted "Fergie, Fergie, shut your mouth" — a soccer chant common in Scotland.

Ha ha
I wish I'd seen that!
