With a nickname of ‘The Pitbull’, Edgar Davids might have felt he needed to keep up his fearsome reputation, but the Dutchman went way over the mark in the clash with Wrexham.
Barnet’s player-manager lost the rag after a melee broke out in the final minutes of yesterday’s clash, with the home side holding a slender lead.
A rash challenge saw both teams squaring up to each other before Davids, seen wearing the number 1 jersey, launched his elbow into Steven Wright, leaving Wright requiring a skin graft. Here is a picture of the aftermath for the Wrexham player.

Davids saw red and Wrexham grabbed a late equaliser from the resulting free-kick, so some justice was served while the Dutchman can probably expect further punishment.
The elbow occurs at around the 20 second mark.
