Newcastle midfielder Lee Bowyer does not want to move to Birmingham City because of fear that he’ll be attacked by Asians.
David Sullivan, the Birmingham Chairman, revealed that Bowyer feared for his physical safety. This came after fans protesting stopped a deal being completed.
Sullivan said:
"Steve Bruce, we thought, had talked him round,"
"But he was genuinely worried that one night there would be 10 Asians waiting outside his house ready to kick seven bells out of him.
"We are not going to beg if someone clearly doesn't want to join us.
"He told us that he would only leave Newcastle if a London club came in for him, or one from France.
