Former Bristol City defender Bradley Orr on 'The Swindon Butcher' and how prison changed him

Former Bristol City right-back Bradley Orr has opened up on his time in jail, including a run-in with a convicted murderer 'The Swindon Butcher' and how his time on the inside helped kick-start his career on the field.

Orr, now 39, was one of three City players to be charged with affray alongside Steve Brooker and David Partridge in 2006 following a brawl in a Bristol nightclub one year prior. Partridge was handed a two-month sentence with Brooker and Orr both receiving 28 days.

Just five days prior to his sentence, Orr was sent off in a league game against Northampton for headbutting teammate and City legend Louis Carey in front of the Sky cameras.
