Call that a broken fence Ross McCormack? Aston Villa goalkeeper Mark Bunn puts the striker’s worries into perspective.
It may not surprise you to learn that Ross McCormack doesn’t have Twitter. Not setting up an official account is probably one of the few good decisions he’s made in recent months because, and we put this lightly, it hasn’t been the easiest of seasons for the former Leeds United and Fulham striker.
Already under pressure from Aston Villa supporters to locate his scoring boots after averaging £4 million per goal for the Midlands club, it didn’t go down too well when the claret and blue army learned that their marquee summer signing had decided against heading off to training because his gates were stuck, the Daily Mail report.
Unsurprisingly, the working class, 6am starters among the Villa Park matchgoers were hardly willing to excuse their misfiring, millionaire striker for failing to discover a way of driving his presumably shiny motor to his job as a professional football player.
A few days later, McCormack was gone, shipped off on loan to Nottingham Forest. Yet, wherever the Scotsman goes, ‘gate-gate’ is unlikely to leave him be.
And when Mark Bunn, Aston Villa’s understudy goalkeeper, uploaded a picture to his official Twitter account showing his fence, and the neighbouring wall, smashed to pieces by the handiwork of a rather peeved Storm Doris, the supporters were not going to miss such an open invitation.
