THREE Aston Villa stars were involved in a 2.45am Birmingham nightclub brawl just days before the club’s biggest game of the season.

Chris Herd, James Collins and Fabian Delph were threatened with the police when trouble flared outside Broad Street’s Gatecrasher venue early on Tuesday.

All three have apologised to the fans for their behaviour and the club have fined them with the proceeds going to charity.

Exclusive video footage of the bust-up, given to the Birmingham Mail, shows Herd – his shirt open down to his chest to reveal a distinctive tattoo near his neck – kicking the club’s glass doors in a confrontation with staff. He is joined by Collins and Delph in the expletive-laden melee.

And a fourth unidentified man, dressed in a smart suit and tie, restrains the three footballers towards the end of the 52-second clip, which ends with the stars walking off into the night.

The trouble flared only hours after Villa’s player of the year awards, held at Villa Park’s Holte Suite on Monday.

None of the players at the awards bash were believed to have been drinking alcohol during the ceremony.

An Aston Villa statement said: "The Club dealt with this matter internally on Tuesday and the players in question have been disciplined, with the fines being split between two charities the club are promoting at the game against Spurs on Sunday - Cure Leukaemia and Anthony Nolan.

"Our players attended the club’s end-of-season dinner on Monday night and training on Tuesday was limited to players who did not start in Saturday’s Premier League game against West Bromwich Albion and those not carrying injuries.

"As a club, players, management and fans are completely focused on Sunday’s game against Spurs at Villa Park."

Yikes.

[Former Liverpool FC youth player] Adam Hammill today admitted attacking two women paramedics.

Hammill, 24, of Hall Road East, Bootle, pleaded guilty to two counts of assault when he appeared before Liverpool Magistrates Court earlier today.

The footballer, who is currently on loan to Championship team Huddersfield Town from Wolverhampton Wanderers, was arrested outside the Revolution bar, in Temple Court, Liverpool city centre, in the early hours of Sunday, October 7.

Amanda Haycock, prosecuting, said ambulance staff Sky Armstrong and Tracy Northey were called out because Hammill was unconscious. But when they tried to put him in a wheelchair he became aggressive.

Miss Haycock said: "He hit out, catching Miss Northey on the nose, spat blood at them and tried to bite them."

She said police officers called to the scene to help the paramedics heard Hammill verbally abuse them and they could smell alcohol on him.

She said: "Despite appearing extremely drunk he had a very strong grip and was difficult to restrain.

"With the help of colleagues who had arrived to assist he was placed in the rear of the ambulance as he needed medical treatment and officers were trying to dodge Mr Hammill's mouth as he to bite those around him."

Ugh. I'd hate to be that guy's defense attorney.

I read a very scientific white paper that jerking off can aid sleepiness.

However if you’re a football player, you must have at least one (1) teammate present for it to work.

On the other hand, going no fap makes you stronger and faster and gives you more endurance. It also helps your jaw look more manly.

just amazing

I think a Dr.’s professional evaluation after the last ban was “he will absolutely do this again” lol

in terms of lack of domesticity, Suarez may top the cake

I remember Ivanovic being a pretty good sport about it.

Someone already shared the Chelsea incident, but here's a compilation with all three biting incidents.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XicHnfytRtg

He wanted to leave Ajax, so he bit a guy. (Liverpool really should have paid more for him given how good he was.) He wanted to leave Liverpool and Liverpool weren't as easy to push into a sale, so he bit two people. (Again, Barcelona got the guy at a relative bargain.)

And if you notice, Suarez magically stopped biting people after getting his dream move to Spain. I don't doubt the guy's a bit naturally unhinged, but I'm pretty sure he knew he could "let himself go wild" and get a ban to help push a club into unloading him.

Angling for a move away from Uruguay obviously.


He bit Chiellini in June 2014 during the World Cup. He didn't get his move to Barcelona until July 2014.

Up until the biting incident, FSG were going to do their usual hardball stance. Then he bit Chiellini and it was obvious that he was going to get a big match ban. I think he even got a 4 month match ban before the Liverpool/Barcelona deal was announced. Liverpool had to sell because they were basically stuck with a guy who obviously wanted out and couldn't play for a good part of the season.

Fabrizio Miccoli is now officially a convict after a court denied his final appeal yesterday. He reported to prison this morning and will serve 3 and half years for extortion involving the mafia. He’s already getting a break as this is normally a 7 year sentence.

The stupidest thing is that this is all over 12k euros; he paid some mafioso to go get some money back from a club owner in Palermo for someone else. Roundabout crime that I think in a lot of countries would just get off with a hefty fine if you’re rich like he is but since it’s Italy and the mafia is involved he was pretty much hosed from the beginning. It didn’t help that in a wiretap he insulted Giovanni Falcone, famous anti mafia prosecutor and judge who was brutally killed by the mob in the 90s with a roadside bomb.

I hope that dad is just in shock and unable to put his thoughts together better, but it's hard not to imagine that some army of lawyers, PR fixers, agents and general parasites are scheming around right now to try to resolve this situation in the most profit-preserving way possible. Mason Greenwood was on a pretty high trajectory that could have made a lot of people rich and it probably brought out the worst in a lot of people.
