Footballers can do stupid things sometimes. Former West Ham, Newcastle and Aston Villa midfielder Nolberto Solano — who is currently without a club after being released by the Hammers — was pictured this week on the cover of the most-read Peruvian sports daily in the build-up to their match against Uruguay.
Solano is pictured pointing a gun at the Uruguay shirt. The picture didn’t help bolster Peru’s chances. Solano’s team lost 6-0 to Uruguay with former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan scoring a hat-trick.

Peru needs something. Right now they are pathetically desperate shape.
i’m embarassed to be a american/peruvian… Peru footbal is dead because of the greedy, corupt directors
Nolberto Solano is a good peruvian footballer, however pointing a gun at the Uruguay shirt was really stupid.
It’s a gimmick for chrissakes. Solano has always been an even-tempered and respectful guy.
Its not a professnial way….but i hope his intention was just only for fun. coz he had never shown things like this in the past.
wor nobby who is a geordie by the way, adopted i might add, he would not do such a thing in any malace something must have been asked of him, as someone has said, a gimic

There's a fella holding the shirt up in the picture (you can see his hands and legs).
I wonder if he was bricking it, what with a gun pointed to his chest and all.
