Craig Bellamy reveals new details of golf club fight and says it wasn’t even craziest incident of wild Liverpool night

Craig Bellemy has recalled his infamous golf club incident with John Arne Riise, and revealed shocking new details about the night.

The current Burnley assistant manager joined Gary Neville on The Overlap to discuss his career, which inevitably included the 2007 Champions League last-16 clash against Barcelona.

Bellamy has now recalled what triggered the bust-up, which began on the golf course.

“Me, Robbie Fowler, John Arne Riise, Steve Finnan were playing golf and I questioned some of his shots, where I thought the ball ended up and where it ended up,” he told Neville

“I felt there were certain areas where I thought it went somewhere but it ended up in a much better position. I started to get a bit worried when it was in the woods but it was on a tee.

“It wound me up a little bit, I said to Finnan, ‘he’s cheating’ and he said, ‘don’t worry about it’.

“During the night we had a few drinks and there was karaoke. [Javier] Mascherano sang for us and one or two other players had to sing a song as part of their initiation.

“He [Riise] had to sing a song as there was a Christmas do and he didn’t turn up, he said he was going back to Norway and he didn’t so it was part of his punishment to sing a song and pay a fine.

“I said to him, ‘you’ve got to sing’ and he was dead against it, and I seemed to push it more then like, ‘no you have to’ and it went back and forth and he said, ‘look I ain’t f****** singing and stop trying to
