Wallace vows to find Stevenage attacker

Laird was knocked to the ground following the final whistle as the npower League Two side celebrated their 3-1 win. The Football Association confirmed on Saturday night that they will look into the incident and Wallace is determined to find the individual responsible.

He said in a statement on the club's official website, www.stevenagefc.com : "I wasn't aware of the assault on Scott until long after the game. When I was told I spent a considerable time viewing the incident from all angles with representatives of the police."

He added: "The assailant can be seen clearly from the moment he enters the pitch. He has approached at least three Stevenage players, seeming to wait for an opportunity, and thrown a punch to the side of the head that was designed to inflict maximum damage.

"Scotty collapsed unconscious and has no recollection of the incident.

"This person seemed intent on making a random assault on a Stevenage player after a fantastic victory.

"This is disgraceful behaviour and we will do everything we can to ensure that the assailant is brought to justice and prosecuted."
