Ah sportsnight. I ll never forget when one of the British teams played Juventus in the 80s and there was a Polish player who played for Juve called Zbigneiw Boniek and on the highlights (which were shown on sportsnight) all you could here throughout the highlights was some Northern fellow shouting "Boniek ya bastard " over and over . * Disclaimer. It might have a different game. Possibly an international game.
