He's being treated as a local hero today
A stupid one though. As well as being on the Swansea board of directors his father owns the top 5 star hotel here too so he never was very popular.
The general feeling around here was he was pretty stupid. Swansea were through to the final. Whereas Hazard certainly did make contact with the plank, it was milked so much it would have made any of Arsenal's glory days players jealous. If a player strikes another player that's bad enough but assault on a member of staff, albeit a minor assault is completely unacceptable. A harsh red card but a red all the same.
