THERE’S SOME gutless<br />
buggers around. I’d like<br />
to use a more applicable<br />
but unprintable word to<br />
describe the guy who tried<br />
to kick an eel to death (see<br />
page 7).<br />
Luckily a passer-by walking<br />
her dog saw what was<br />
happening, called him out<br />
and he put the defenceless<br />
eel back in the stream where<br />
it belonged. Otherwise it appears<br />
the eel wouldn’t have<br />
stood a chance.<br />
This guy was not young,<br />
he was about <strong>19</strong>, and according<br />
to the witness was wearing<br />
a stupid-looking pirate<br />
hat and apparently trying to<br />
impress a couple of girls.<br />
He must have thought he<br />
was one tough, fearless sort<br />
of a bloke.<br />
A pre-season tackling<br />
session with Lincoln rugby<br />
would probably determine<br />
how much ticker he has.<br />
