A football coach was allegedly knocked unconscious by an opposition fan while walking to the bathroom during a junior tournament in Auckland on Sunday.

The Ellerslie FC coach was reportedly attacked from behind by a man believed to be the parent of a Papakura City FC player, shortly after her under-10 girls’ team had beaten Papakura in a semi-final match. 

Former All-White and Northern Rovers coach Chris Milich joined D'Arcy to  unpack the controversy.
