So Croft, who's Oldham team were losing 1-0 deep into injury time, races after the ball to take a throw in when the Blades ball boy kicks the ball away instead of meekly handing it over. Croft says he asked him what he was doing right in front of the home fans. Oldham equalise and Croft goes to the young lad to shake his hand after the game ends. The lad refuses and is said to be visibly upset by the event. Strangely it is reported that the lad could not actually recall what Croft had said!!!! The Blades FAns nearest the incident said Croft had racially abused the lad and being upstanding citizens thought it best to report it. If I was racially abused I am pretty sure that I would have an idea what the comment was.
Just saying.
