Preston's attacker Milutin Osmajic, playing in the English second division in football, is suspended for eight matches and fined over 200,000 kronor.

The reason?

He bit Blackburn's defender Owen Beck in a heated match between the teams at the end of September.

Preston and Blackburn are local rivals from northern England, and it was after a situation where Beck kicked a Preston player – something he got a red card for – that Osmajic went on the attack with his teeth.

Osmajic was not sent off for the incident, despite Beck seemingly telling referee Matt Donohue that he had been bitten.
