Arsenal legend Ian Wright squares up to ex-Man Utd midfielder during Baller League clash
The pair had to be pulled apart as tempers flared on night five.
Former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright was caught up in a fiery altercation as tempers flared at Baller League UK on Monday.
The first season of the star-studded six-a-side competition began last month and night five proved a bad-tampered affair, with Troy Deeney at the centre of the drama at London’s Copper Box Arena.
Making his debut for Wembley Rangers AFC against FC RTW, Deeney was seen throwing himself about throughout and the ex-Watford captain was eventually sent off by referee Mark Clattenburg after barging over Tareiq Holmes-Dennis off the ball.
Holmes-Dennis, formerly of Charlton and Bristol Rovers, reacted by shoving Deeney back and an all-out brawl threatened to break out before the situation eventually cooled.
Wembley Rangers would go on to suffer a 4-3 defeat in Deeney’s absence, with FC RTW’s Josh Harrop scoring twice, but the bad blood did not end there.
