VIDEO: Slap thrown as photographers fight for picture of Dirk Kuyt

Chill out lads

Darragh Murphy

With all due respect to Dirk Kuyt, it’s probably not worth getting into a fight in order to snap a picture of the forward.

But that’s just what happened when the former Liverpool player opened his Feyenoord account with a penalty in front of the De Kuip fans.

After the Dutchman put his new team 3-1 up, one photographer was tripped over as his peers rushed to get the perfect photo of Kuyt.

He didn’t take too kindly to that, ignored the helpful hand of his tripper and lashed out but it was all over in a matter of seconds.

It’s a sorry state of affairs when the handbags at dawn are crossing over into the photography realm.
