FOOTBALL'S coming home for the Manchester United fan accused of throwing a coin at Man City striker Craig Bellamy. In fact, it's coming right to his front door.


For Red Devils supporter Adam Teese is feeling the flipside of his alleged coin attack - with furious City fans bombarding his house with pranks.
Adam's name and address were released by police after the season ticket holder was charged with throwing a coin at Bellamy during the Manchester derby last week.


And within 24 hours, the enraged blue half of Manchester had ordered him £150-worth of pizzas, a skip, rat exterminators and two prostitutes.
The barrage of jokes didn't end there either.



City supporters also:
- Requested a visit from an Avon rep
- Signed him up online as a rent boy
- Applied for an Ocean Finance loan for his mum
- Reported a gas leak in the middle of the night so he got a call out within the hour
- Booked a rep to go and see him about getting an indoor swimming pool
- Ordered him a 4 ft tall Bronze figurine of Winston Churchill on a 14 day trial
- Sent a breakdown truck
- Sent Jehovah's Witnesses round
- Grassed him up for growing drugs at his house
- Grassed him up for being a benefit cheat
- Got him a weekend booking of a 1957 Pink Cadillac complete with 1950's style Elvis dressed chauffer
- Signed up his phone number to receive adult chat
- Ordered him a Daffy Duck bouncy castle and puppet show for his garden
- Ordered squeaky the clown to go and perform for him


Details of the pranks began surfacing on supporters' forums. Despite later being removed by Man City website Blue Moon, they were still picked up by other clubs.


This resulted in yet more misery for 26-year-old Adam, who lives with his parents. But dad Joseph, 55, raged: "We've had no end of trouble
- I've had to take time off work to deal with it."



Teese will appear before Trafford Magistrates on February 9 accused of "throwing a missile on to the pitch" during the Carling Cup Semi- Final second leg at Old Trafford. Mum Deborah insists her son is innocent, adding: "I was sat next to him and he did not throw anything. We actually had to duck when a bottle was thrown over us!"


Last night a Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said: "Officers are investigating the incidents."

Ah, the classic "My mum says I never did it" defence. Proven in court to be a winner, time and time again.

Some pretty good ideas there

While I have no sympathy for the bloke (if he did it), I presume that none of the companies/ladies got paid for their services. Calling out the emergency gas response doesn't scream sensibility either.

Call me a miserable old git, but most of those don't stike me as a prank.
