A few years ago Pavel Bure shent on the Rangers' injured reserve list and then disappeared off the face of the planet. Well he has reappeared - in court.A Russian court has awarded former Bure 67,000 rubles (C$2,750) in a lawsuit he filed against British Airways after being forced to leave a plane.
Bure filed the suit after he was told to leave a plane at Moscow's Domodedovo airport that was preparing to fly to London in October. The suit said the pilot believed he was a soccer hooligan and refused to take off until Bure left the plane.
The incident occurred a day after Russian soccer hooligans disrupted another flight to Britain, reports said.
Bure filed a suit seeking 20 million rubles (C$822,000) in material and moral damages. The ITAR-Tass news agency quoted his lawyer, Dmitry Ragulin, as saying he would appeal to a higher court to have the award increased.
