5 Weird Incidents in Football that capture the imagination

3) Ryan Donk – The Double ball trouble

Turkish football is never far from the limelight and former West Brom defender Ryan Donk was at the centre of a storm for this one. Donk attemptted to stop a Be?ikta? attack by throwing a second ball at striker Hugo Almeida’s feet. He held on to a ball that found its way on the pitch before waiting for the opportune moment to unleash the devilish trick . The act left the referee in a limbo and unaware of the rules in such a situation, he let the player off with only a yellow card and awarded a drop ball in the penalty box! . The sight of Donk actually pleading his innocence is one to behold. That was just the spark needed to ignite the contest as a Kasimpasa fan ran on to take down Manuel Fernandes a while later before getting kicked by Be?ikta? players for his efforts, who were in turn sent for early showers.
