I saw the clip on Twitter, it's horrendous. Charging him with manslaughter seems entirely the right decision, imagine the Eric Cantona kung fu kick, but with sharpened blades on his feet.
Wasn't the ovation at the weekend?EDIT. From the papers, Petgrave given standing ovation on 12.11.23. Man arrested on suspicion of manslaughter 14.11.23
The mitigating factor is that milliseconds before it happened, the accused player was barged and could claim he raised his leg to recover his balance, but as I said, to raise his foot that high seemed unnatural and malicious.
