Jermaine Beckford is a footballer currently with Preston North End, having been on loan from Bolton Wanderers and, since I don’t follow football, I wouldn’t know him from Adam.
However, I was disgusted to see the footage from a football match yesterday when he took off his shirt and kindly chucked it over to a group of young boys… not because of anything he did, but because of the woman who wasn’t even in the ‘catching zone’ and, some time after the initial tussle between the lads, with the one in yellow winning, she waded in and snatched it off them!
Reportedly, she sold it later that day on Gumtree for £1500.
Kudos to Jermaine Beckford for chucking the shirt over to the lads, but the woman in the pink top is an absolute disgrace. And I hope someone also has a word with the female bouncer who wades in towards the end and seems to think it’s okay that the woman takes it!
And I know this post isn’t related to movies, videogames etc, but I was absolutely dumbstruck by this woman’s behaviour. I hope she faces legal charges over this.
Update: Jermaine Beckford has spoken out about this, today, in The Mirror, stating that if the boy doesn’t get the shirt back, then he’ll arrange for a second one to go out to him, but if I was that boy, I know that the only thing that would make it right would be to get back the ORIGINAL shirt, and not a new one.
Check out the video below and click on the picture for the full-size image. You can also see the shirt on sale below, a picture of which was posted on Twitter but the advert has since been removed. If you can identify her, then report her the police for this ghastly behaviour.
