Head-butt victim slams Gattuso

Tottenham coach Joe Jordan has branded Gennaro Gattuso "pathetic" after the AC Milan midfielder claimed a racist remark provoked his head-butt this week.



Gattuso has been charged with "gross unsporting conduct" by UEFA after head-butting former Milan striker Jordan following Spurs' 1-0 Champions League last-16 first-leg win at the San Siro on Tuesday. UEFA's control and disciplinary body will discuss the case against the 33-year-old Italian on February 21.u00a0His agent Claudio Pasqualin claimed Jordan had provoked Gattuso with a slur about his nationality but the Scot has rubbished those allegations.

"To come up with something like that is pathetic," Jordan told the Daily Mail. "It's completely untrue and something so wildly inaccurate doesn't do him much credit. "He clearly doesn't realise I consider playing for Milan the proudest time of my career, that my daughter lives and works in Italy and that I love the country and the people. It's just nonsense."
