Cliftonville's Conor Devlin who was once on Manchester United's books knocked Glentoran's Jim O'Hanlon unconscious in nightclub beard stroking row.

Joey Barton was done for assault.

Didn't Tony Adams get done for drink driving?

Duncan Ferguson - assault on the pitch.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Jonathan Woodgate - actually convicted of the racist assault Bowyer was acquitted of, but got a lot less flack for some reason.

Marlon King - more or less everything.

Lee Hughes ( driving )
Tino Asprilla ( guns)
Patrick Kluivert ( driving )

Hughes wasn't just drink driving though, didn't he kill someone?

 

[Maltin]

Hughes wasn't just drink driving though, didn't he kill someone?

So did kluivert.

 

[JTG]

Hughes wasn't just drink driving though, didn't he kill someone?

Death by dangerous driving, failing to stop and failing to report an accident. Sentenced to six years, out after three. Douglas Graham was the victim.

Hughes was later also convicted of common assault in 2012.

 

[souljacker]

Robin Van Persie was done for sexual assault wasn't he? Or did he get away with it?

[JTG]

A Bristol Rovers special!

David Hillier: theft of £3000 worth of luggage at Heathrow (whilst at Arsenal)
David Pipe: wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm (3 years & 2 months). Sacked by the club while the case was still pending.
Andy Spring: burglary (nicked a VCR from a local primary school). Later moved to Ireland and won their national lottery

Some Lincoln City ones:

Paul Casey, assault
Moses Swaibu, stealing a cooked chicken and a newspaper from Tesco (same branch, different times, caught twice)

And if the team needs a manager:
John Beck, smuggling whiskey. Would ensure the criminal team played criminal football.

Moses Swaibu, stealing a cooked chicken and a newspaper from Tesco (same branch, different times, caught twice)

 

[Voley]

I'm assuming you mean that he nicked the chicken and the newspaper on separate occasions.

It would be spectacular if he'd nicked a chicken and a newspaper both times.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

In fact can we have Maradona (drugs) and Messi (tax dodging) in the Beck managed team?

 

[Voley]

I wonder if we could put a team together that solely consists of tax dodgers. Terry Venables to manage.

 

[JTG]

Important to point out that Harry Redknapp is in no way eligible for the management role

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

And his dog can't be the team mascot.

 

[Pickman's model]

Roy Keane (GBH, inexplicably never charged or convicted).

not to mention alan shearer who wasn't charged by the fa over his attack on neil lennon iirc because he threatened to quit as england captain

 

[Pickman's model]

why no dennis wise? and why no edmundo, the great brazilian?

 

[JimW]

They all end up at FGR, such that some forum wag suggested we move training to leyhill open prison for convenience.
