Craig Bellamy hit by a coin, very nearly knocked out by a bottle

Other beer companies try to muscle in on Carling Cup

Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy clutches his head after being hit by a coin while the invisible man pours beer into the wound. Or something like that.

The Welshman was clearly in a bit of discomfort after being struck by a coin thrown by a Manchester United fan. It is probably just as well the bottle didn’t connect.

Bellamy was targeted as he attempted to take a corner in last night’s Carling Cup semi-final defeat.
