Fanny Cradock

Not exactly a home name, but apparently he has just been found guilty of shooting a man to death sometime back in '04.

I wonder what other footballers have been sent down.

Theres a few I can think of

Tont Adams done time for drink driving
Pennant for the same
Joey Barton for being Joey Barton
Big Dunc for head butting John McStay, I think that was the first time a player was jailed for something that happened on the field
Mark Ward got 8 years for getting caught with coke, his book is very good auctually
Lee Hughes got a few years for killing someone in a car crash
Stig Tofting, think it was assault or something, the lads crazy anyway
Jan Molby did a few months for drink driving
I think marlon King is in prison now
Gary Charles was in jail too, dont know for what though
That man utd youth player Mads Timm was locked up after a car crash I think, only reason I remember him is Champ' Manager

N'Zogbia may have been on the verge of a jail sentence for getting someone else to do his driving test for him.

One of the Villa lads had a visit from the cops last season (cant remember who at da mo) for something like an armed robbery/somethign with a gun. One of the reserves?

Some lad down the divisions in England can sent down for 12 weeks for something and engineered a move (and didnt tell his new team that he would be doing some time) Heard this last week.

the fuzzy details is due to some time in ze pub this avo. either google or my brain might be working later 2mrrw.

Pennant had the ankle braclet iirc.

Marlon King is no stranger with the law either. Has done a lot of scummy things. Not sure if he is out of jail yet.

Patrick Kluivert was convicted for manslaughter from a car accident, never got jailtime though.

Steve Finnan was charged with dangerous driving from a fatal collision a few years back but it never went to court

steven gerrard guilty of impersonating a footballer (very badly) this past year

tommyhaas

Glen Johnson footballer/criminal mastermind was caught robbing a toilet seat from B&Q, just got a fine though

steven gerrard guilty of impersonating a footballer

There is the Brazilian keeper who has been charged with his wife's murder, he is almost certain to go down.
Then Ribery and Benzema have been charged but are certain to avoid prison.
There was keeper with Plymouth (I think) who was jailed for killing a family in a car crash a fee years ago, was made more known because his mate celebrated a goal by giving the cuff sign.

dreamers75

few irish lads could go in there ie playing in ireland.

Paul Dunphy for one.

Eddie Van Boxtel another one. Cant find out any info on how that case ended though

It was the Plymouth keeper alright. Luke McCormick. Caused the death of two young boys when he fell asleep at the wheel after drinking all day at a wedding. Seriously injured the dad aswell. He got 7 years for it.

Bradley Wright Philips & Nathan Dyer were both arrested for thieving 2 barmaids handbags . Not sure if they got jail though , pretty scummy thing to do

Tim Cahill did the cuff sign after his brother was put away for 6 years for partially blinding some guy when he kicked him in the face
