Defence of Bellamy - you don't hear about the huge amount of work he does in Sierra Leone as much as you would expect because he does it for the project, not to make himself look cool
Great player also who maximized his ability Aggressive sod on the pitch but that's half his game and its effective
Who knows - or cares - if it's true about Deano? He's a good man and doesn't have to apologise for anything. Funny thing is, behind all the blather of a ghosted autobiography, Bellamy was a damn good striker: he worried the living daylights out of opposing defenders. I fancied him for us a few seasons ago - yes, yes, I know he was way beyond our budget - but just imagine a marauding, predatory attacker at The Valley, carrying on in the tradition of Killer Hales....

Sorry...if it is true it was unexcusable by Kiely, deserved all he got and more IMO.
I'm sure I remember hearing Keily say it was the other way round and Bellamy had said it to him.
Exactly. Or the quote was made up by the publisher's secretary one afternoon in El Vino.
Nothing goes into such books without the lawyers going through it first. If Deano didn't say that then he would be able to sue for libel, as the quote certainly would be considered slanderous.
I suspect Deano did say it (we all say or do stupid things in the heat of the moment) though there were probably other events beforehand during the game that might have provoked him...
Yeah he said it, probably not in the knowledge that Bellamy lost some one close to him. Think it was billy big nuts like to phone him so the rest of his mates can listen to his apology. At least he was a big enough man to apologise. A lot of people I've encountered think their shit stinks of roses.
What he said was very wrong but all seems odd that he would say that over very little, especially as Bellamy seems to have fallen out with lots of people

Of course it was odd, that's why Bellamy was enraged by it and still remembers it to this day. He fell out with a lot of people, which means that very few on the pitch liked him. Probably part of the reason Deano blurted it out and immediately regretted it.
I'm sure Bellamy's had enough rows to fill a book without inventing stories about a comment made by a random Charlton goalkeeper years ago.
Bellamy was (is?) a fantastic player, very, very dangerous. If he'd met that physiologist in his younger days he could have has a different, better, career trajectory.

It's good copy and it sells books - that's why we are talking about it now, many years after those few words were or were not uttered. Both Deano and Bellamy were professional footballers of the highest order, thrilling hundreds of thousands of us over many years with their marvellous skill, talent, flair and passion. Do you really think either of them is bothered about ten syllables? I have no doubt the book is a good read - with a large pinch of salt. For a truly penetrating insight into the life of a pro footballer, I heartily recommend 'Only A Game' by Eamon Dunphy....
Shocking comment from Kiely, that is way out of line, sort of thing you'd expect from some Chav scum in a Sunday morning game, not an international player.
Bellamy has every right to put it out there, especially as Kiely had a pop at him in the press first.
In the heat of a battle when you are fired up, you can say somethings that are our of character. I think it says a lot about the man that he openly admitted he was up all night thinking about it afterwards.

Come on, if he wasn't a Charlton hero would you be excusing him ?

If it was John Terry or Joey Barton.....?
Who said it ? Doesn't matter who said it or who they said it to does it ? it's bang out of order either way.

Good to see the money goes to charity i suppose.
Also, what is Kiely thinking??
Still, will be an interesting read, I don't doubt.
And all because CB didn't kick the ball to DK. Sounds like we're only getting one side of the story.
However, if Kiely did say that then he's got no grounds to complain.

Shocking thing to say if its not true then i think deano should sue
But i think the fact bellamy has put it out ther in public that there is the real story
Shameful comment
