Former Swansea defender Chico Flores gets his revenge on under-fire England chief Sam Allardyce… Three years later

CHICO FLORES has incredibly hit out at under-fire England boss Sam Allardyce after he was caught advising an undercover reporter how to dodge third-party ownership rules.

The former Swansea defender, 29, was involved in a touchline spat with the then-West Ham boss THREE years ago, with Big Sam having the last laugh.

The pair clashed in the 0-0 draw in south Wales after Flores went down somewhat dramatically after a 'collision' with Hammers forward Carlton Cole.

Rather than get angry or gesticulate furiously towards the Spaniard, Allardyce simply laughed at him theatrically... Much to Flores' disgust.

After the game, Big Sam quipped: "[The referee] can’t be absolutely certain of what’s happened, except that Chico Flores is over-exaggerating, which is generally the norm for him unfortunately.

"To clutch his face and roll around, I think that’s had a big influence on Howard’s decision, thinking that it’s caught him in the face when it hasn’t at all."

And now, after Allardyce was caught on camera advising undercover reporters how to dodge third-party ownership rules, Flores took to Twitter to poke fun himself.

Firstly he found out about the news after Marca - a paper in his native Spain - tweeted the story... And retweeted it.
