Not sure if it has been mentioned but he was on socceram on Saturday begging for a new club. Offered a contract at Brighton but turned it down hoping a bigger club would come calling, Helen Chamberlain even called the Torquay manager to see if he was interested.

Mattock gets a suspended sentence:

A Premier League footballer walked free from court on Thursday after admitting lashing out at four people in a nightclub.

West Brom player Joe Mattock, 20, was given a suspended sentence for punching two men and two women in Liquid Envy in Church Gate, Leicester, on August 30, 2009.

Leicester Crown Court heard that Mattock, who was 19 at the time, hit out after he was given "grief" over a transfer from Leicester.

The Leicester-born player, who is currently sidelined by an ankle injury, joined West Brom last August for £1million, causing anger among many Leicester fans.

The defender, of Grove Road, Leicester, pleaded guilty to a charge of affray at Leicester Crown Court in July.

On Thursday, at the same court, he was handed 10 months' detention, suspended for two years. He was also ordered to complete 150 hours of unpaid work, and to pay £1,500 costs.

Judge Michael Pert QC told the footballer: "You plainly worked hard at your craft and were a successful professional footballer.

"The plain fact of the matter is you were earning what most people would regard as a king's ransom.

"If the price of that is to take some stick in a nightclub in your home city when you had left Leicester for another club, frankly you should have been able to handle it.

"It's plain from what we have seen that you were not able to handle whatever was said to you on that occasion and your behaviour was disgraceful."

"Late-night violence in the city centre is always treated seriously by this court," the judge said.

He told Mattock he would not be awarding compensation to his victims, but added: "You are a very wealthy young man and your victims can pursue you for proper compensation in another court, and that is what I think they should do."

The incident, described by the judge as an "explosive few moments", was captured on CCTV cameras in the Liquid Envy nightclub.

The court heard that Mattock got talking to one of the victims at the bar, when her boyfriend approached him and was seen to say something to him, sparking Mattock to throw a punch.

He then also hit the woman, and CCTV footage showed him hitting another woman and man.

Prosecutor James Thomas told the court the footballer left the club "fairly swiftly", then swapped his T-shirt with a friend to avoid being spotted.

But two days later, on September 1, Mattock handed himself in to police.

"During the course of that interview he said he had been having some grief during the course of that evening from a female about moving from one club to another," Mr Thomas said.

"The defendant had played for Leicester City and had recently transferred to West Bromwich."

Mr Thomas said Mattock told officers he had hit the first man with the palm of his hand and claimed he was then hit from behind, prompting him to lash out with his head down.

He said it was only afterwards that he realised he had hit a woman.

The prosecutor told the court all four victims were knocked to the ground. Some suffered cut lips, while one of the women had a bruised cheekbone and a black eye.

Mattock was originally due to stand trial charged with four counts of assault and doing an act tending and intended to pervert the course of justice.

But today not-guilty verdicts were recorded in all five counts, as he had pleaded guilty to affray.

I sort of agree with the judge, but do the 'innocent' victims deserve to be put on a pedastal when they clearly were winding him up to start with. If you go out and take the mickey out of random drunks then there is every chance that one of them will eventually lash out.

That seems strange as he's one of the homegrown players in their 25 man squad.

Watched Jon Ashton today at Stevenage, poor.

Saw a really good prospect today, 16 yo Nick Powell from Crewe. Came on last twenty and gave the Stevenage back four a right going over. Just read Arsenal have already asked about him!
