Andrea Dossena, one of the worst Liverpool players in my lifetime, is in hot water... Ex-Premier League footballer Andrea Dossena has been arrested on suspicion of shoplifting at London department store Harrods, the BBC has learned. The Leyton Orient defender, who used to play for Liverpool, was held in Brompton Road, Knightsbridge, on Tuesday, the BBC understands. The Met Police said a 33-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman were arrested and taken to a west London police station. They have been bailed until late April. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-32217880
Ah yes classic Rafa, buying a ****e player and then playing him out of position so he's even ****er. Udinese were laughing their tits off when they sold him. And he clearly picked up this habit during his time there. When in Rome....
Beware Tuckin, he's threatening legal again against anyone who accuses him of shoplifting... Andrea Dossena has clarified that his arrest in Harrods was only due to an 'oversight', whilst promising legal action against those who suggested otherwise. The former Napoli defender was reported to have been arrested yesterday, under suspicion of shoplifting at Harrods. While his representative in England Gary Sloane already denied the charges, the player himself issued a statement through the Twitter account of his agent Federico Pastorello saying there was no truth to to the story at all. “In regard to the news released today on some websites, I would like to make very clear that the story reported is unfounded,” reads the statement. “I was in Harrods with my wife and my son for some shopping and I forgot to pay for a honey jar and some sliced meats we had previously ordered. “While exiting the shop unaware of my oversight, I was stopped by security guards who then called the police as a standard routine procedure. “As I wasn’t carrying with me any identity documents at the time, I was asked to go to the nearest police station in order to be identified, after which I left and went back home. “Hence, I have now instructed my lawyers to protect my image with all necessary legal actions against those who reported this inaccurate and tendentious news.”
Is leaving without paying not shoplifting? Extra points for 'tendentious' though. If in doubt, use lawsuits and long words.
I heard that when he was arrested and interviewed at the Cop Shop, the conservation went like this: PC: Name ? AD: Andrea Dossena PC: Occupation ? AD: Professional footballer PC: Oh, yes I thought I recognised your face ! Played for Liverpool about 7 years ago? AD: That's right. PC: I've seen you play a few times. Played as a defender on the left ? AD: That's right. PC: OK, back to the serious stuff. Would you like to defend yourself ? Erm, I'll put that down as 'No' shall I ?
