A top footballer defended himself after he was broadcast touching his eight-year-old daughter’s chest at an LFC legends match in Australia.
Craig Foster, a former Crystal Palace player, was embroiled in a social media storm after footage was shared online.
Clips showed the 46-year-old repeatedly brushing his daughter’s upper chest as the national anthem was played, in front of a 40,000-strong crowd at the ANZ Stadium.
The footage sparked a massive response on Facebook and Twitter, with many reacting with shock to the now sports commentator’s actions.
The ex-Portsmouth and Adelaide City midfielder, who won 29 caps for Australia, wrote on Twitter: “Was very special for all the players to have our children share tonight’s experience as mascots. My beautiful 8 young daughter. Unforgettable.”
He then added: “Shame my 16 your girl and 18yo son couldn’t be there as well. I certainly would have hugged them very close too.
