I have always suspected that Austin is one of those footballers that go bankrupt within a few years of retirement...he's having a good time and I don't begrudge anyone that, but he has expensive interests.


Yeah, Charlie is a bit of a 70’s throwback. Not hard to imagine him going out on the razz with Channon, Osgood, Charlie George etc.

Evidence of all this supposed debauchery please...




Otherwise let's file it under 'B' for 'bullshit'.
Seen it with my own eyes. Seen both of them out in clubs loads, few times so drunk they can't stand. Once saw Stephens with a soaking wet shirt which smelt of beer, with Austin around him.

Told people about this on here for months, just did it in pm.
 
No photos, but Beef and others have witnessed things first hand and reported on various threads in the last 3 or 4 years.

Mmm... like I said, if any Saints player was behaving in an unprofessional manner on a regular basis, it would appear on social media.

I don't doubt that people have witnessed players out having a drink, and perhaps even looking the worse for wear. I've seen it myself back when I was a barman in Bedford Place and Oxford St for a couple years in the mid-noughties.

But I highly doubt that it is being done to the extent that it would seriously jeopardise a player's professional progress.

People just love to exaggerate, sensationalise, and especially be the bearer of scandalous revelations. I'm just sceptical whenever I hear/read this type of thing.

I've seen Shilts dragged out of Friday's nightclub by two bouncers after he had temporarily lost control of both of his legs back in the 80s...:grin:

I used to hear David Prutton come stumbling home most weekends for a brief while back in '07. He was going out with my ex-girlfriend's housemate/bff at the time.

To be fair it was when he was hardly getting a game, and just before he got released.
