Footballer tackles opponent with chainsaw (Daily Telegraph)

A footballer who was sent off returned and attacked an opposition player with a chainsaw, a court heard.

Anthony Lloyd, 20, was ordered off the park pitch for foul language but returned with the running power tool and tried to chop the hands off rival Paul Westwood while yelling: "I'm a crank."

Prosecutor Laura Plant told the court: "They heard an engine start and saw the defendant coming out of the bushes revving a chainsaw.

"The victim's friend ran off, leaving him cornered by the defendant."
