Shola Ameobi is messy, an idiot
Newcastle star mistakenly believed his pigsty home was burgled
Fearing he had become the latest Premier League burglary victim, Shola Ameobi recently phoned the police to report a break in. The concerned Newcastle striker told Northumbria Police that several items including his chequebook had been purloined from his £500,000 mansion. However, shortly after making the call, he realised that he hadn’t been burgled at all – his house was just really messy:
Police called the incident a ‘genuine misunderstanding’ and a source told the Daily Mirror: ‘We were told thieves had taken a number of things, the most important one being the chequebook.
‘Given what soccer stars earn, that was obviously a matter of great concern. Then we got a call back saying nothing was missing after all.
‘Perhaps he had had a party and the place just looked as if it had been burgled.’
It must have been an incredible party if Ameobi has absolutely no recollection of staging it…
Newcastle bonus: Ameobi isn’t the only Magpie to brush with the law. Oba Martins has been in court after being caught doing 106mph. Amazingly, he kept his licence. Actually, he’s a famous footballer, so it’s not that amazing.

What an utter mug. More proof that footballers should at least have one O-Level before being allowed outside their parents house.

Maybe he just needs a little help with his organizational skills. Stephanie Bennett Vogt’s book, “Your Spacious Self” could be a very beneficial book for him to check out! I know that every time I open her book I always get all pumped to clean and get my life in order.

He seems to have difficulty finding the back of the net as well…
