Hull City's record signing Jimmy Bullard was sacked by the club following an incident which was thought to be related to breaching rules over alcohol during a pre-season training camp in Slovenia. He had previously been warned over his over-the-field behaviour and it was not a surprise to see him dismissed.
Bullard's antics got me thinking about other footballers and managers who had put their football club in a extremely embarrassing position with their actions off the pitch.
Bullard is certainly not the first and won't be the last football personality to make the headlines for their alledged drinking. Many others have had extra-marital affairs to the detriment to their career in football but we hear less about these now because of the rise of injunctions that prevent publishing details of these affairs. However we normally get to hear about them eventually, isn't that right Mr Giggs?
