Pitch-invading hedgehog hurts referee

The seventh division of English football features pitch-invading hedgehogs.

Hitchin Town and Arlesey Town met in a very important Evo-Stik Southern League Premier Division match, but then it got delayed by a hedgehog. You know, just your average hedgehog delay.

And when the referee tried to pick it up, he jumped back with an injured hand. He didn’t know that a hedgehog can be dangerous, apparently having learned nothing from the hundreds of pitch-invading hedgehog delays in his career.
