Charlton Athletic, once a proud Premier League team, are in a lot of trouble. The club is hideously in debt and, despite a slight upturn in form, they are still five points away from sliding down into League 1. Many fans blame their recent troubles on Belgian owner Roland Duchatele and controversial CEO Katrien Miere. So, this past weekend the fans took to the street in a unique way.
If you ever forget that professional footballers are really just boys with a lot of money, remember this article. MK Dons midfielder Samir Carruthers was just banned from entering the Cheltenham Festival because he was pictured pissing into a pint glass.
