The drunk who administered a blow to Sir Alex Ferguson's nether regions outside Euston Station got off lightly, if the Manchester United manager's reaction on the touchline is anything to go by.
Rarely has Fergie reacted with such fury as he did when Joe Cole felled Cristiano Ronaldo with a cynical tackle in front of the Old Trafford dug-out, prompting the United boss to unleash an invective of pure Glaswegian ire in the direction of ref Mike Dean.
The United boss yelled at the hapless Dean, who only punished Cole with a caution when Fergie deemed dismissal the only suitable response.
With his advancing years – and the installation of comfy, heated seats in the Old Trafford dug-out – rarely in recent seasons has Fergie, 65, left his customary perch to remonstrate with officials on the touchline. But his reaction to the perceived injustice over Cole's failure to be awarded a red card was conclusive proof of Fergie's enduring drive and passion, which was surely enhanced this week at seeing one of his managerial nemeses taken out of the equation.
