The vilest footballer in Britain - West Brom's £20k-a-week Liam Ridgewell in sick pose

Insulted ... West Brom fans at the Stoke game

West Brom fans at yesterday’s home game at The Hawthorns were shown the picture — and most reacted with disbelief.

Carpet fitter Ryan Walker, 24, said: “It’s insensitive to fans who have to scrape money together just to see him play.

“You wouldn’t catch me doing that with a £20 note.”

Painter Robert Jones, 38, said: “Even though he did it for a bet he should give a bit more thought to what kids who see it might think.

“It’s not doing much for the image of footballers.

“I’d be interested to hear what the Queen has to say about it too. He’d have been hung for that 100 years ago.”

But engineer Warren May, 44, said: “It’s up to him what he does — he’s just having a laugh.”

Ridgewell split from fiancee Kirsty Maclaren last year — eight days before their wedding.
