Hull City’s desperate fight for Premier League survival appears to be getting to the players with Jimmy Bullard and Nicky Barmby alleged to have been involved in a bust-up in a public park.

The Tigers were thrashed 5-1 at Everton on Sunday and 24 hours later Bullard, 31, and Barmby, 36, tore into each other in front of astonished onlookers, including old age pensioners, according to the Sun.

a witness told the newspaper: ‘It was all quite nasty. a number of old people, some being walked bynurses, thought yobs were fighting and one screamed: ‘Call the police’.’

The pair were broken up but hostilities are said to have resurfaced the following day. the onlooker added: ‘The lads were training on a local park when Barmby had a go at Bullard, calling him lazy.

‘Bullard rolled up his sleeves and said ‘Let’s have it out then’. Barmby said ‘Don’t be so silly, grow up’.

‘But Bullard pushed him and it all kicked off before the other players split them.’

Hull are yet to comment on the matter.
