Newspaper "The Suns" received a photo in which 28-year-old footballer, "West Bromwich Albion" defender Liam Ridgewell is sitting on the toilet and instead of paper, he uses 20 pound sterling notes.
Next to him are scattered quite a few notes - in total about 1000 pounds sterling. The photo's implication - English players earn so much money that they have to wipe their backsides with bills.
After all, L.Ridgewell's weekly salary is 20 thousand pounds. However, this photo not only angered the club's fans, but also the entire football community. After all, 20 thousand pounds sterling is an average annual worker's salary.
West Bromwich Albion's fans have already come to the editors office and were outraged by the footballer's "prank".
"The residents of West Bromwich have the right to know what that idiot wants to insult with this photo. Us, who earn less for him? Is it that he bathes in money, while leaving us only a dirty toilet? We are disgusted by Liam's position. We always thought that footballers are arrogant clowns who earn too much money. This story only confirms our thoughts," - football enthusiasts were outraged.
"This is my personal photo, which was taken eight months ago in my home. It was just a joke, related to the fact that I lost a bet to a friend and had to take a picture like that. That image was only meant for the participants of the bet. But now this photo has become part of the public. I understand how it can be interpreted and how people reacted to it. Therefore, I can only publicly apologize if this photo offended anyone," - L.Ridgewell defended himself.
