Sharp aplogises for goal celebration

Doncaster Rovers Billy Sharp has apologised to the Scunthorpe fans for the manner in which he celebrated scoring his first goal for Doncaster at Glanford Park.

Sharp was given a rough ride by Scunthorpe supporters despite the fact he netted 56 goals in just two seasons for the Iron before moving to Sheffield United.

The 23-year-old whipped off his shirt and ran over to the Rovers fans after putting his side 2-0 up on Saturday but revealed he had not planned to celebrate scoring.

Sharp told Scunthorpe’s official website: “It was my first goal for Donny. I didn’t want to celebrate but I was getting some stick from the fans.

“I don’t mind that but I didn’t think I deserved it and I was just giving some back.”

He added: “I had two of my best seasons here and might not have seasons like that again but I’d like to apologise to the fans. It was just a bit of banter as they were giving me alot of stick.”
