Very ugly scenes here

He had to be restrained by a teammate.

Earlier this week, former Premier League stars Jamie O’Hara and Paul Konchesky made headlines for all the right reasons as the pre-match ritual of Billericay Town made an impression on every football fan that saw it.

On the field, things have been going very well for O’Hara in recent days as his side won their Ryman League Cup final against Tonbridge Angels. In fact, given their recent exposure, Soccer AM and the Sky Sports cameras even made a visit to see them training.

Well, unfortunately for O’Hara, the cameras – well, camera phones – were also present during the recent match between Billericay Town and Leatherhead.

As you can see in the footage below, the atmosphere was already incredibly heated and things boiled over after a young fan put out his hand for a high five from O’Hara before instantly pulling it back.

As the former Wolves and Fulham player leaves the field to a chorus of ‘what a waste of money’, he proceeds to shove the supporter before being restrained by a teammate.

Leatherhead won the game 3-2 thanks to goals from Kadell Daniel, Charlie Moone and Nana Boakye-Yiadom, but it’s clear that O’Hara’s run in with this supporter will make all the headlines.

Take a look.
