Non-league goalkeeper sent off after confronting 'fan' who urinated in his water bottle

A Liverpool-born goalkeeper was sent off for Warrington Town on Saturday after a fan behind the goal urinated in his water bottle.

The Wire shot-stopper Tony Thompson was given his marching orders around the hour mark after squirting the contaminated drinking vessel at the supporter. Town went on to lose the FA Trophy match 1-0 against Guiseley.

After the match, the former Altrincham and Morecambe player took to social media to share air his thoughts. Thompson tweeted: "Today I fell out of love with the game! I've been called many names but for someone to [urinate] in my bottle, for me to drink it and then to be told I wasn't allowed to react because I'm a player is outrageous. That person has put me my family's health at risk and knocked me sick."
