Riise Describes Bellamy's Golf Club Attack

Liverpool left-back John Arne Riise is talking about the problems he often faced during his playing years. Riise recalls the argument he had with John Carew in 2003, while both were with the Norway national team. The argument, which started when Riise spat at Carew's feet, was reportedly followed by Carew knocking Riise to the ground.

According to Riise, the incident with Carew was settled by talking it through the same night. Riise says it should not have happened, but that they talked the same day and have been friends ever since.

Bellamy, however, sees the incident as more threatening. Riise describes how, after a team bonding trip to Portugal in February 2007, he was lying in his hotel bed when an argument over karaoke broke out and Bellamy attacked him with a golf club. Riise says Bellamy aimed for his legs and that this could have ended his career. Riise also adds that people do not believe his account and think he is joking.
