Liam Ridgewell - what a complete t****r!!

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...ewell-wipes-backside-with-20-pound-notes.html

I'll not copy and paste (NSFW) but it's a pic of him wiping his arse on £20 notes.

The guy is a dick for doing something like this in a recession when the people who pay his wages, the fans are struggling to make ends meet.

West Brom defender Liam Ridgewell, 28, squats over a toilet and wipes his backside with a wad of £20 notes.
Scattered on the floor in front of him are dozens more £20 notes, totalling almost £1,000.
The Premier League star, who earns at least £20,000 a week, is apparently using the cash instead of toilet roll.
He claims the sick stunt was simply a “joke” to wind up a friend — but it will infuriate more than just his pal.

Ridgewell’s weekly wage is equivalent to the average annual salary in the West Midlands — one of the most deprived areas in the country.

The disgraceful snap — taken in the bathroom of Ridgewell’s £1.5million home in Barnt Green, Birmingham — was sent to The Sun by a West Brom fan who asked not to be named.

He said: “The people of West Bromwich earn a fraction of what this idiot earns yet he makes a mockery of his good fortune like this. It makes me sick.
“We’ve always thought footballers were arrogant, overpaid buffoons and this just proves it.”
Ridgewell, an unused sub in his side’s 1-0 defeat to Stoke yesterday, apologised last night.

He said: “The photo was taken in the privacy of my home around eight months ago as a joke to wind up a mate, who I had just won a personal bet with.
“I only intended him to see the photo but now it’s public, I can understand how it will be viewed. I am sorry for any offence it causes.”

A spokesman for West Brom, currently fifth in the Premier League, said: “This is a private issue for Liam that has become public.
“It does not put the club in a good light and we will deal with the matter internally.
“Since Liam joined us 11 months ago, his conduct on club duty has been exemplary.”

West Brom fans at yesterday’s home game at The Hawthorns were shown the picture — and most reacted with disbelief.
Carpet fitter Ryan Walker, 24, said: “It’s insensitive to fans who have to scrape money together just to see him play.
“You wouldn’t catch me doing that with a £20 note.”

Painter Robert Jones, 38, said: “Even though he did it for a bet he should give a bit more thought to what kids who see it might think.
“It’s not doing much for the image of footballers.
“I’d be interested to hear what the Queen has to say about it too. He’d have been hung for that 100 years ago.”

But engineer Warren May, 44, said: “It’s up to him what he does — he’s just having a laugh.”
Ridgewell split from fiancee Kirsty Maclaren last year — eight days before their wedding.

 

Is it bad that the only thing I'm wondering about now is how many of the notes in my wallet have been **** on by footballers and put back into circulation?

Bit of a weird sense of humour he has, but having said that, I'm sure I'd find it hilarious if I wiped my arse on all the monopoly and invited my brother to have a game... Especially the way he enjoys kissing the 500s when he's thrashing me... Must be a twat thing

 

It's all right, there are plenty of people in my local area who wipe their arses with WBA shirts!

 

I'm a cheapskate mind.
I'd use fivers. lol.

 

The man is a complete T..ser. Like the majority of prem players( judging by all the articles we read ) who earn fortunes they know the value of nothing and it must get to the average working man to hear and see such antics.

 

£1000 in twenty pound notes!!!

He obviously didn't feel too grand.

 

In all fairness its his money... He can do what he likes with it :L i don't see how anyone can have a go at him for it, it was all for a laugh although I'm sure i could find some more uses for the money!

 

is it not an offence to deface the queens image?

 

I know it's ****ing annoying when you see people throwing away cash, but it's his money and he can do what he wants with it.

 

It doesn't look like he's actually doing it, just pretending to.
It's money that he won from a friend on a bet and he sent the picture to that friend to wind him up.

 

Looks awfully like The Sun making something out of nothing. I'd be inclined to believe him over their shoddy reporters. If all he was doing was winding up a mate he'd won a bet with, I can't really see the problem. He is simply saying to his mate, "I've got so much of your money I can wipe my arse with it". If that is the case its not arrogant in the slightest, just a joke between mates. He also wanted it to remain private which suggests it was a little private joke.

 

Seen the photo.
A joke to a mate that's backfired - wholeaked the photo?
A bit rich from the S*n to call him the vilest player in the premiership.

 

He could have used 50's bit of a cheapskate.

 

What a cock he is.

A bit if a kick in the teeth for the people who pay his wages (however the joke was meant)
