West Brom defender Liam Ridgewell, is currently being vilified for a
The 28 year old 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, totaling almost £1,000.
The Premier League star, who earns at least £20,000 a week, is apparently using the cash instead of toilet roll. Seriously????
Following the backlash that followed the release of the picture, the player claims the sick stunt was simply a “joke” to wind up a friend.
The picture which has left many gobsmacked was taken in the bathroom of Ridgewell’s £1.5million home in Barnt Green, Birmingham, and sent to The Sun by a West Brom fan who begged for anonymity.
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.”
