Shum Posted 22 April 2005 Share Posted 22 April 2005 FURIOUS Nottingham Forest chiefs last night promised to punish a DOZEN players who embarked on a drunken, glass-smashing pub crawl days before their most important game in years. Forest chief executive Mark Arthur has launched an immediate investigation after the club was bombarded with complaints from the public. The boozy stars smashed and threw glasses around crowded bars, guzzled expensive champagne and abused staff. They drank the night away in trendy bars Via Fossa and Tantra and were warned to tone down their antics before the police were called. One witness said: "They were being rowdy and mouthy, were very drunk and were smashing glasses and finding it funny. It got to the stage where we threatened to call the police." Forest stand on the brink of relegation to the wilderness of League One this weekend, 25 years after their second European Cup win. They are the first club to win the trophy who have sunk so low. Garry Birtles, a Forest legend for his part in the double European Cup triumphs in 1979 and 1980, blasted: "The Forest fans were recently singing that the players weren't fit to wear the shirt - now they've gone out and proved it." Forest are second bottom of the Coca-Cola Championship and tomorrow they must beat Burnley to hang on to their slim hopes of avoiding relegation. Manager Gary Megson has been forced to sell off their star names like Michael Dawson and Andy Reid. But that did not stop an estimated dozen players, including David Johnson, Alan Rogers, Wes Morgan and John Thompson, rampaging around Nottingham's city centre. Chief executive Arthur said: "We have received complaints from members of the public regarding the behaviour of a group of players in Nottingham city centre on Tuesday evening. "We have launched an internal inquiry and will take appropriate action against the players concerned if we find they have a case to answer."
