YCNMIU #2: Keeper booked for rescuing cat

Posted on 23 November 2009 by Ben Greenwood

We just found this on the BBC website:

Goalkeeper Ivan Banovic was booked after rescuing a pitch-invading cat during a top-flight match in Croatia.

Medjimurje Cakovec’s Banovic picked up the wandering feline after it strayed on to the pitch 20 minutes into his team’s match at Sibenik.

He placed it safely near a scoreboard but was then booked by the referee for leaving the pitch without permission.

Media reports said the official’s actions annoyed fans, who barracked him for punishing Banovic’s kind deed.

No doubt next week a top flight manager will get a touchline ban for attending a charity event…
