Craig Bellamy took on the great Sir Bobby Robson at Newcastle... and lost!

There was one game where he brought Craig Bellamy off early because he thought the game was won and he wanted to save Craig's legs.

When we got back to the changing room, Craig was cursing about how he was always the first one to be hooked. Sir Bobby grew exasperated and said: 'Will you shut up.'

Craig kept jabbering away about the injustice and finally Sir Bobby snapped.
