'with a steward in pursuit'

[wotcha]

Having rounded Joe Hart from a clearly offside position, Ji ran to the crowd and after being mobbed a fan came from left field, with a steward in pursuit, to put a smacker on the South Korean striker.


This is from a news article, and I don't understand the red phrase. Isn't steward a guy's name????

No, "Stewart" or "Stuart" are names.

'You might also want to look up 'in pursuit'... and 'with' now I think of it. ;-) 'With A in B' means that A was doing whatever verb is associated with B; in this case the steward was pursuing him.

A 'smacker' is a flamboyant kiss. (The fan wanted to show his approval.)

Thank you so much. ㅠㅠ

and sorry for my laziness and stupidity to all...

sometimes (or more often) my brain just doesn't work. ㅡ.ㅡ

 

[Barb_D]

Sometimes my brain doesn't either, and I'm working in my NATIVE language. No worries!

I still don't know what a flight attendant was doing on a soccer field. ;-)

 

[BobK]

Yup - brainlessness seems to be part of the human condition (ironic really, in homo sapiens) ;-)

I guess he was on one of the wings. <Bou-boum>.
