the German striker Miraslov Klose who plays his club football in Italy with Lazio . In the match verses Napoli the ball hit Miraslov Klose on the hand and went in the back of the net, first the referee gave the goal and there was a major prtest from the Napoli players. After Klose requested the referee to wipe out the goal, which he did. The match then ended 3-0 in a Napoli win. My memort goes back to a E.P.L match between West Ham United verses Everton , the Italian player Paulo Di Canio caught the ball in the hand after the Everton goalkeeper was lying motionless on the ground , DicCanio had a empty net in front of him then. These are sporting spirits shown by players , sadly not seen today.
