The former Welsh international told Radio 5 Live that he could put up with what he called "dog's abuse" from the terraces and conceded it even fired him up to play better. What he couldn't tolerate was death threats, having the windows at his home broken, having coins thrown at him as he left the pitch. He recalled that once, when he was playing for Birmingham City, he was visiting the NEC with his son when an Aston Villa fan spat at him in the face. "I was out with my little boy. That's got to be out of order, hasn't it?" Extract from Grauniad article on something else! I don't particularly like Savage. But there's a point with these things. I can't hear the interview that's on the Beeb's site, but that sort of thing is going beyond what is reasonable. Players and fans should be able to give and take a bit of grief during the game, but beyond that people are either getting the game out of context or they're idiots. Possibly both.
