davieG Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 FFS don't they earn enough!!! An England footballer has been given an on-the-spot fine for stealing bathroom fittings. England defender Glen Johnson, who plays for Portsmouth on loan from Chelsea, and Millwall striker Ben May were caught at B&Q in Dartford, Kent, on Wednesday. The pair were spotted by a security guard putting a toilet seat into a box with a cheaper price tag before they reached the checkout, The Sun reported. They also avoided paying for a set of taps by concealing them underneath a sink at the checkout, the newspaper said. A worker at the store told The Sun: "We all recognised Johnson. No one could quite believe a bloke like him, with all that money, would be moronic enough to nick a toilet seat. But that's what him and May were doing. "They were spotted by one of our security guards, a chap of 74, and cops arrived as they were trying to leave. "They seemed to find the whole thing funny and couldn't stop smirking even after they had been arrested." A Kent Police spokesman said: "Kent Police arrested two 22-year-old men on Wednesday on suspicion of theft in Dartford. "Both men have been issued with £80 fixed penalty notices." Gary Double, Portsmouth FC's director of communications, said: "We won't be making a statement." A Millwall spokeswoman also refused to comment.

Joe. Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 What complete idiots! Why the hell would they want to steal with the stupid amounts they earn? Tossers.
JoeyB Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 just stupidity i hope they get battered by there teams
lildave3 Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 His career has gone downhill so much. He used to be a great england prospect, now he struggles to get into the pompey side.
Thracian Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 Well if I were a manager and some arseholes had dragged my club's name through the mud I'd just leave em to rot and certainly wouldn't pick em again. And if other managers refused to sign them then perhaps a worthwhile lesson would be conveyed to others. It won't happen though. They'll doubtless come up with cleaner arses than if they'd nicked a bidet and will be free to continue taking the piss for as long as it suits em. Pity someone can't just pull the chain on em and flush them away from public view.
Milky Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 wankers, but just like the cap V's car issue, more thicko moneyo shitto stuffo.
Flynny Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 Did it for kicks and knew they could well afford any fine, paltry or otherwise. Idiots.
Simi Posted 19 January 2007 Posted 19 January 2007 Would it still be an on the spot for fine if it wasn't a pro footballer ?

So you're saying if you were Leicester manager and Iain Hume, a player we can ill afford to be without, nicks a toilet seat from B&Q, you'd just drop him and pack him off to another club without a thought? No, you bloody well wouldn't - a fine and a warning would do. Not condoning it by the way.
Bert Posted 20 January 2007 Posted 20 January 2007 What complete pratts. Really,idiots. Says you, who stole Maybes Virginity.
lcfc_jme Posted 20 January 2007 Posted 20 January 2007 Pathetic. All that money and they still want to nick things? Disgraceful.
Wils Posted 20 January 2007 Posted 20 January 2007 Says you, who stole Maybes Virginity. Only thing ive ever stole in my life. Honest.
MC Prussian Posted 20 January 2007 Posted 20 January 2007 Glen & Ben after being released by the police.

That's not talking in theory. I locked the doors on one of the finest squash clubs in Britain on the principle of such an issue.
