WATCH: Paulo Wanchope gets owned by security guard half his size in fight for the ages

What an opening move

Patrick McCarry

Paulo Wanchope comes out of this altercation looking like a real chump.

To fans of Derby County and Costa Rica, the lanky forward will always hold a special place in their heart.

To everyone else, this footage will forever be what you associate the name ‘Paulo Wanchope’ with.

The 39-year-old is back in his home country and coaching the national Under-23 side.

Wanchope was refused entry to watch his team’s match against Panama from the sidelines. He settled for observing from the stands but took exception to a young steward standing in his way after the match.

He pushed the youngster before lashing out at a staff member that was looking after security. In the space of eight furious seconds, he would regret that move.
