Hero slammed Gallas

Chelsea hero Ron 'Chopper' Harris has slammed William Gallas after the club revealed the Frenchman's 'own-goal' threat last night.

Chelsea's former skipper said: "I find it disgraceful that a footballer can turn round and say he'd deliberately give a penalty away or score an own goal - that is beyond belief.
"But then nothing surprises me with the footballers of today. Years ago, when a footballer had a transfer request turned down, that was it finished with. But now the player seems to hold the club to ransom.
"I don't think he'll go down too well with Chelsea supporters when he comes back to Stamford Bridge. If that was his attitude, the quicker Chelsea got rid of him then the better."
Ex-Chelsea boss Tommy Docherty added: "He should be fined by the FA for bringing the game into disrepute.
"If he is prepared to score an own goal deliberately, he's cheating. He's cheating the fans and his team-mates."
