‘Don’t do it’: Sinister truth emerges from Gallen bar fight
Former rugby league enforcer Mark Geyer has called for footy players to stay home after Paul Gallen’s wild pub brawl drama took an all too predictable twist.
The witness said: “Everyone loved him and then all of a sudden this happened. No-one was hurt, it was sorted out and everyone went their own way. But the incident does not seem too be an uncommon occurrence for professional athletes and speaking on the issue on Triple M’s“Every time you go to a pub or somewhere where there’s alcohol and other males, the combination of the alcohol and testosterone kind of creates the perfect storm as far as trouble goes,” Geyer said.
“I’ve learned that lesson. I’m 55 and it’s taken me a long time to realise that most of my best times have happened at home with my mates and my family. But you are a target, you are definitely a target.”Geyer added a specific time he was singled out at a pub by a group who appeared to be itching for a fight.
Geyer said in the situation, he was getting beers when one of the blokes came up to him to measure up. 10 minutes later another one of his mates came over to bump into Geyer’s back. “He’s a) a rugby league player and b) a boxer, so that’s a double target on Gal’s head because everyone’s going to try and have a go at him. You just can’t put yourself in that situation.”
