Temuri Ketsbaia was Newcastle's 'Mad Monk' who bought his own boots and went wild at paintballing

'I have never watched it back and never will do. I am not proud'.

Let us recap. Newcastle United were being held 1-1 at home to Bolton entering the third minute of injury-time when the bald-headed substitute known as the Mad Monk met an Alan Shearer knock-down and blasted into the Gallowgate End net.

First to go was his black-and-white shirt, hurled with menace into a stunned crowd. Then he thought about ripping off his boots. They, though, had a far better use. And so Temuri Ketsbaia set about kicking the advertising hoardings - again, again and again - all the while lashing out at those who dared to calm him.
