New Zealand youth international Max Crocombe later apologised for his actions after being given his marching orders in bizarre circumstances. There is nothing worse than being caught short when on the football field - thousands of eyes watching and all you can think of is when you might be able to relieve yourself. For many amateur footballers, the site of players disappearing mid-match to the toilet is not an unfamiliar sight, but those watching Salford City's National League North clash with Bradford Park Avenue got more than they bargained for on Saturday.
With Salford 2-1 up in the closing stages, goalkeeper Max Crocombe was shown a red card in mysterious circumstances, with no one quite sure what the New Zealand Under-23 international had done wrong. It soon materialised, however, that Crocombe had chosen to urinate by the side of the pitch rather than wait until he was able to return to the dressing room at full-time.
Crocombe - who will face a suspension of at least three matches - later apologised for the incident, writing on Twitter: "I'd like to sincerely apologise for the incident today. I was in a very uncomfortable position and made an error of judgement which spoiled a great win.
