Mooney's Desailly fury
Tommy Mooney, Wycombe's 35-year-old striker, has accused Marcel Desailly, the former Chelsea defender, of "destroying" the best year of his career. Mooney was playing for Watford in September 1999 when the Frenchman's reckless challenge left him with a displaced kneecap, which required two operations. "I wasn't happy about the challenge," said Mooney. "If you suggested that it showed disregard for a fellow professional's wellbeing, that covers it quite well. Desailly was a World Cup winner but he never apologised. I don't hold any grudges against Chelsea but I still don't care much for Desailly. I wouldn't stand at the bar and have a shandy with him, and whenever he came on TV as a pundit at the World Cup I wanted to put my boot through the screen - though I would rather deliver it in person. I wish the disappointment would go away but it has always been there, gnawing away at me."
