West Ham are one step closer to becoming the most loathed team in the Premiership after they announced the signing of golfing/karoke (sometime footballer) champion Craig Bellamy.
Signed for 7.5 million quid and on a weekly salary of 70k he must now go down as one of the most expensive arseholes in footballing history.
Some career highlights include:
-sent off for kicking out at an Inter defender
-in March 2004, he threw a chair at then-first-team coach John Carver.
-on 31 January 2005 (transfer deadline day) Bellamy was sent on loan to Celtic of the Scottish Premier League for the remainder of the season. He shunned a move to Birmingham City, texting Souness and chairman Freddy Shepherd 'I am Craig Bellamy and I don't sign for shit football clubs.'
-Craig Bellamy made himself further unwelcome at St James' Park when some abusive text messages were sent from his phone to club captain Alan Shearer after Newcastle's FA Cup semi-final defeat by Manchester United.
-in February 2007 it was alleged that Bellamy attacked team mate John Arne Riise with a golf club during a team training session in Portugal
-Bellamy was alleged to have assault a 19-year-old girl in a Cardiff nightclub in March 2006, in which he grabbed the girl's throat
Sounds like a well adjusted individual.
