I've never scored a Premier League goal before - let alone two, so I probably shouldn't judge Demba Ba of West Ham. Maybe all of that exertion against Wigan on Sunday caused incredible fatigue that lasted deep into Monday evening. Either way, he was too tired to sign an autograph last night at the Grosvenor Hotel in London, and outrage ensued, according to the Sun:
The player replied, "I'm too tired" and the fan snapped, "I pay £60,000 a year for a box at this s*** club, I'm not going anywhere." [...]
"That triggered the mayhem. The fan went berserk, shouting and screaming at Ba, hurling all sorts of racist insults at him - and Ba looked like he was about to lash out when Danny Gabbidon separated them.
"A table was tipped over and security men raced into the room - it was chaos. Within moments, police were all over the place."
I'm not the first person to point out that Ba has a very short name.
