"When the first punch came Moses looked at me and I told him not to retaliate which he obliged but before we could say Jack, a second one had been landed and naturally any human being would have retaliated in such circumstance," he said. "It's a situation I wouldn't want to talk about because it was quite nasty. There was even a glass thrown at Moses by the player which I stopped it with my hand, "he added.
