There is no comparison. Alkmaar fans had made their way across half of the stadium to confront West Ham’s friends and family section. The West Ham fan in question was stopping their fans who were about to attack anyone in that section. A completely different scenario, it seems, to the events in Athens.Compare this to West Ham rewarding ‘Knollsy’ for fighting off Alkmaar fans trying to storm their end last season. He was rewarded with a free ticket.
I am not condoning violence - just pointing out that there is a real inconsistency in how these events have been handled.
