A Championship footballer dodged a £100 train fare - despite earning thousands of pounds a week.
Watford's Tom Dele-Bashiru - full name Ayotomiwa Sherif Tom Dele-Bashiru - failed to stump up the cash for a rail journey he made from Reading to Manchester on December 18 last year.
The midfielder, who was on loan at Reading at the time, did not purchase a ticket that should have been priced at £103.50. The 22-year-old was the subject of a hearing at Dudley Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, June 8. Magistrates ordered the former Manchester City player to pay a £140 fine.
