According to one witness, “He was getting goaded, like they do. All I heard was ‘little arms’ and then that’s it. It kicked off. It happened as soon as they walked in. They hadn’t even had time to get a drink. One lad suffered a broken nose. Pickford wasn’t hurt at all. He was out of the door as soon as it kicked off. Pickford’s group left by minibus before the police came.”
The “T-Rex” arms comes just a few days after a Newcastle United fan wore a Tyrannosaurus Rex costume to a game to make fun of the goalkeeper.
