Phil Neville the Everton footballer is worried that it's only a matter of time before a footballer is attacked by a supporter.
"In tennis a fan ran onto the court and stabbed Monica Seles and I think it is only a matter of time before that happens in football," said Neville.
"The level of abuse that players are receiving is bordering on frightening and enough is enough now," added Neville.
"It is only a matter of time before a really serious incident takes place.
"It has been building up for the last 10 years and it is fine shouting abuse at you, but they are now shouting abuse about your family and when it gets to that level then enough is enough."

Also, Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor has called for greater security to ensure players are protected from crowd abuse.
"If there is clear knowledge of what may happen at a match, it is as well stewards and police are pre-warned," he told BBC Sport.
"Clubs need to be very mindful when they are counselling stewards before the game that there may be likely targets in the opposition team."

Although I agree that a player COULD be attacked at a match (that has ALWAYS been possible god forbid), I think that Phil Neville has fell right into the hands of the NWO and is pushing their agenda without knowing it.
I wonder if they will introduce armed police checks on the way into football grounds. Or maybe they will have armed police in the grounds or arm the stewards with tasers or both ?
Notice that Gordon Taylor says that stewards should be made aware that they are "likely targets" by opposition fans :cool:
