A supporter of the New Zealand Warriors has been banned from watching his club for life after opting to down a beer out of his shoe at the Mt Smart Stadium.
Calley Gibbons, 31, has been hit with the sanction despite going down a storm with fellow fans after doing the 'shoey' during the team's 42-18 NRL win over the Bulldogs on Friday. The man now dubbed 'Roger Shoey Vasa-Shack' by fellow fans was immediately frog-marched out of the arena and informed he would never be coming back.
However, the Warriors' fanbase clearly aren't in agreement, and have launched a petition to get the harsh ban overturned for the popular bricklayer. Thus far, more than 3,000 signatures have been gathered in support.
