JEWELLERY - TAKE IT ALL OFF!

Perth Glory striker Damien Mori recently agreed to have his wedding ring cut off his finger after he had not been allowed to take the field in an Australian A-League game the day before.

In accordance with A-League Rules, Mori was told to remove the ring by FIFA referee Mark Shield prior to kick-off for his side's match against Melbourne.

The 35-year-old was unable to do so, even drawing blood as he and English coach Steve McMahon attempted to remove it whilst being filmed by the TV company covering the match.

Mori had not been able to remove his wedding ring ever since his finger was fractured and the swelling at the joint made it impossible to be removed.

Perth began the match with 10 men before Mori was replaced by former England international, Brian Deane , in the fifth minute.

Deane scored his first goal for the club in Perth 's 2-1 victory.
