[QUOTE=B. Oddie;4968711]More of an urban myth than truth.

"Anyone who's ever wondered how the hell Mark Lawrenson gets away with being quite that much of a boring, miserabilist prick on TV every week will see why this is my favourite.

By 1977, Robin was playing for Cardiff. During an away game with Brighton, he was marked by Lawrenson. Robin got so fed up with Lawro's close marking that he waited for him to attempt a sliding tackle, then simply kicked him in the face. Which is good enough on its own. But there's more. Before he left the ground, while the game was still going on, he, by all accounts, broke into Brighton's dressing room, found Mark Lawrenson's kit bag...and did a shit in it. Beyond brilliant."[/QUOTE

Friday got himself deliberately sent off that day as he had to attend a party in London and wanted a quick getaway. Priceless. You couldn't make it up.
