VIDEO: Kingstonian goalkeeper goes Full Cantona and leaps into the stand to fight a fan

This is one way to silence the critics

Maybe he should swap goalkeeper gloves for boxing ones

Next time we’re at a game we’re going to think twice about telling the defender what he should have done with his last clearance, or how the striker couldn’t hit a barn door with the proverbial.

That’s because of this bonkers goalkeeper who decided he didn’t like what the fans behind his goal were saying about him and decided to do something about it.

Kingstonian netminder Ron Tolfey got some stick from theognor Regis Town fans during the 2-1 home loss in the Ryman League side  on Monday night, and he didn’t take too kindly to it.

After the full time whistle Tolfey had had enough and decided to seek out those in the crowd who had been giving him a hard time during the game.

He hopped over a perimeter fence, into the stand, and attacked one particular fan. It doesn’t look like he managed to land too many punches but it’s still pretty extraordinary to see a player react in such a way.

Eventually the situation was diffused by a mixture of his own teammates and police but The FA will surely slap him with a hefty ban which means he’ll be watching the next games from the ‘safety’ of the stands. Unless he decided to give a player some stick .
