Goalkeeper's red card for urinating in hedge during FA Cup tie leaves manager 'gobsmacked'

A goalie bursting to answer the call of nature was sent off during an English FA Cup first-round qualifying match - after relieving himself in a hedge during the game.

Goalkeeper Connor Maseko was sent off for urinating in the bush during the qualifier on Saturday September 2. Maseko, playing for ninth-tier Blackfield & Langley, was shown a red card in the 76th minute of the goalless draw with Shepton Mallet.

After the ball went out for a goal kick, Maseko needed to use the toilet and decided to go up against a hedge. He was seen by Shepton Mallet players who drew the incident to the attention of the referee.
