Riise: No hard feelings

Last updated : 05 December 2011 By Adam Bryant

The golf club incident in the Algarve in 2007 is long forgotten according to the former Liverpool defender.

“There is no problem with him and I’ve always been okay with Craig,” Riise said.

“We shook hands, settled it very quickly and it’s now forgotten about.

“What happened a few years ago happened – but that wasn’t the guy I knew.

“I actually came up against him recently when Norway played Wales and we were winding each other up and having a good laugh about everything that happened.

“It’s always good to catch up with Bellers and test myself against him.

“He’s not just a real character, he is a very competitive player as well.”

Bellamy famously recreated the incident in a goal celebration when scoring against Barcelona in the Nou Camp a few days later...

He also appeared in a few mocked-up posters too
