The vilest footballer in Britain - West Brom's £20k-a-week Liam Ridgewell in sick pose

Apology ... Baggies defender Liam Ridgewell
He said: “The people of West Bromwich earn a fraction of what this idiot earns yet he makes a mockery of his good fortune like this. It makes me sick.
“We’ve always thought footballers were arrogant, overpaid buffoons and this just proves it.”
Ridgewell, an unused sub in his side’s 1-0 defeat to Stoke yesterday, apologised last night.
He said: “The photo was taken in the privacy of my home around eight months ago as a joke to wind up a mate, who I had just won a personal bet with.
“I only intended him to see the photo but now it’s public, I can understand how it will be viewed. I am sorry for any offence it causes.”
A spokesman for West Brom, currently fifth in the Premier League, said: “This is a private issue for Liam that has become public.
“It does not put the club in a good light and we will deal with the matter internally.
“Since Liam joined us 11 months ago, his conduct on club duty has been exemplary.”
