Wrexham captain Ben Tozer has hit back at Billy Sharp after the Sheffield United
striker gave a fiery interview and taunted the Welsh club’s supporters following
Tuesday’s FA Cup fourth-round replay.

Sharp and Sander Berge netted quick-fire goals in injury time to secure a 3-1
victory for the Championship side, who will now take on Tottenham in the next
round.

Afterwards, Sharp was seen mocking Wrexham’s travelling supporters before he
gave a jaw-dropping interview in which he blasted the lower league team and
accused them of ‘disrespect’.

The veteran striker also aimed a few barbs at the players in the tunnel and
Tozer – who skippers the side owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob
McElhenney – was very disappointed with the way Sharp behaved.



‘I feel like a bit of a dampener has been put on the game with the way they’ve
acted in the tunnel, if I’m being honest with you,’ said Tozer at a post-match
press conference.




‘They showed a real lack of humility, but listen that’s the way they want to be.
I feel like if we’d won that game we’d have shown a lot more humility and
respect.’

On Sharp’s comments in particular, he continued: ‘He should show more respect to
us, and telling us to “Shove it!” on the documentary, I feel like it’s just
fabricated stuff in his head to make it acceptable for himself if I’m honest
with you.

‘I said to him as well, face to face, he should show a bit more humility. We’ve
congratulated them on the win, we haven’t come in sulking, we’ve walked down the
tunnel as normal.

‘It’s just a shame really that that’s the way it ended.

‘Apparently they were tweeting tickets for the Tottenham game before this game
was played, and you had people like Oli McBurnie I believe in the press saying
stuff.

‘I don’t believe any of our lads have said anything disrespectful, we certainly
approached the game properly, but if that’s the way they want to be then that’s
the way they want to be.’

Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson also took umbrage with Sharp, saying: ‘I was a bit
disappointed with Billy at the end, some of the things he was shouting at the
end in the tunnel.

‘He’s a fantastic player but I thought he was disrespectful at the end. I think
the way their players, fans and staff celebrated was a mark of how tough we made
it but my message to Billy is: You’re better than that. My players are humble
and a great credit to the football club.’
