Staunton puts the knife in on Blues security
The Irish defender admits he almost punched a fan who ran on to the pitch to rub salt into Villa's wounds in Birmingham's 3-0 victory.
"Who knows, in future somebody could run on with a knife or something. You just do not know," Staunton told the Guardian newspaper.
"Maybe I'm wrong for saying it but you never know, especially in the world we live in today. Somebody could go crazy. "I would just like to know where the stewarding is or where the police were.
"At most grounds that wouldn't have happened. People wouldn't have been allowed to run on the pitch so easily.
"These things happen and you've got to take it; some take it better than others.
"When the fella clipped Alpay I was on the verge of hitting him because you can't do that.
"I'm not the one that should be hitting him either. He shouldn't have been allowed to do it.
"There should have been a policeman or steward after him to make sure it doesn't happen."
