Observer Sport Monthly: LAST MONTH'S 10: TEN ODDEST ANIMAL CAMEOS
2005
Overview
I was lucky enough to be present at Colchester United v Brentford on 28 November 1970, when probably the most decisive intervention from an animal took place. A long ball was punted towards Brentford goalkeeper Chic Brodie. A dog that had just entered the field of play took this as an invitation to chase it and did so with great enthusiasm - to the extent that, when it arrived at where Brodie was gathering the ball, it was unable to stop in time and collided with his knee. Brodie was carried off and never played in the League again. I believe that the rooster Diomede was given to the French squad by an Australian farmer, a former rugby player himself. He was named after Bernard Diomede, the footballer, at the suggestion of Jo Maso, the assistant coach, who felt that Diomede was the perfect example of a good team-mate. Diomede the cockerel had the luxury of being cleaned out, fed and watered by a player nominated by the players' court at the end of each day. However, he was not a happy rooster, as Raphael Ibanez claimed. His comb began to turn black and forward Patrick Tabacco diagnosed that Diomede was depressed and missing his hens. He was returned to his donor forthwith.
