Video: Guus Hiddink breaks the law while dancing with Roman Abramovich


Departing Blues boss celebrates with dancing and illegal activity

Unencumbered by inhibition, Guus Hiddink celebrated his final game in charge of Chelsea by performing a merry little jig in the Wembley changing rooms.

The Spoiler can’t help noticing that the Dutchman is also puffing away on a huge cigar - we’re very happy to see authentic impressions of Hannibal from the A-Team, but isn’t it illegal to smoke in a football stadium? Or has Mr Abramovich magically reversed the public smoking laws for the sake of incoming cancer stick lover Carlo Ancelotti?

UPDATE: The press are now picking up on the illegality of Mr Hiddink’s festivities.

Teddy Sheringham implicated in speeding ticket scam


Veteran star grasses up former teammate for DVLA offences

Teddy Sheringham

During his days at West Ham, Shaun Newton received a seven month ban for lapping up a little too much tasty cocaine. The midfielder, who is currently unemployed, now finds himself in more trouble, as he stands accused of nine charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice:

[Teddy Sheringham], 42, said ex-West Ham colleague Shaun Newton offered to “get rid” of the ticket after he was clocked at 64mph in a 40mph zone in 2005.

Sheringham told Croydon Crown Court: “I was moaning about getting the ticket, and Shaun Newton said, ‘Give me £50 and I’ll sort it out’.”

Ex-West Ham player, Bobby Zamora, 27, said he paid Newton to “have a look” at a ticket.

Allegedly, Newton helped teammates escape fines by claiming fictitious drivers were actually behind the wheel.

We can’t say too much, as legal proceedings are still active on this case, but if any illegal activity is proven, let’s hope the judge throws the book at them. All too often, cocky footballers believe they are above the rules that govern the rest of society, and this would bring them right back down to earth.
