Video: Sampdoria president whacks journalist at charity match

There always seems to be a news story whenever a camera points towards eccentric Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero and yesterday was no different as the club patron inadvertently hit a photographer with a football.

Both Ferrero and Genoa coach Gian Piero Gasperini took part in the ‘Memorial Fulvio Currò’ charity match with the two Serie A protagonists kicking off the tie.

However, the team owner got a bit too excited and smashed the ball into a watching camera man who got more than he bargained for…

Oooft, that must have hurt!
