    Man City star Phil Foden’s mum nicked for flicking off man’s cap in club – before telling court ‘it’s my party trick’

    FOOTIE star Phil Foden’s mum was nicked for assault and told police: “I’m like an animal when I’ve been drinking.”Claire Rowlands, 44, also admitted “I was a bit of a bitch” after she raged at officers during a vodka and tequila-fuelled girls’ weekend.

    She kicked off after bouncers ejected her for a fracas sparked by her “party trick” of flicking off a man’s cap, a court heard.
    Rowlands had been invited to a pal’s caravan for a “respite break” — telling magistrates that her youngest son was severely disabled and needed 24-hour care.
    She necked shots and partied at a sports bar before clashing with the male clubber in Towyn, North Wales, last September.
    After her ejection, she told cops to “f*** off”, was cuffed and spent the night in the cells.

    She admitted in an interview: “I kicked off with the police officers. I was a bit of a bitch.”
    The stay-at-home mum added she did not drink often but was “like an animal” when she did.
    At Llandudno magistrates’ court, she was cleared of assault by beating, but fined for being drunk and disorderly.
    Rowlands, wed to Phil Foden Snr, 45, told JPs that looking after her disabled son was “hard work most of the time”.

    As a result, two pals had treated her to a weekend in a caravan owned by the aunt of a friend.
    Hours before her September 9 booze-up, England midfielder Phil, 23, came on as a sub for a Euro 2024 qualifier 1-1 draw in Ukraine.
    Rowlands told the court: “The plan was just to go out, have a laugh, let our hair down and enjoy ourselves. We went to the caravan, had a few cans, washed our hair and got all dressed up.”
    She said they went to a bar on the caravan site and “had some fun, doing some karaoke and getting all the old people dancing to Motown”.
    Rowlands said she was drinking vodka and tequila shots and the group moved to Sunny’s in Towyn.
    She told the court: “It was a bit of a sports bar. There were loads of local families. It was quite full.
    “It was a good atmosphere, everyone was chatting and getting on. “We were getting on the karaoke, giving everyone the confidence to sing and just having fun.”

    When the bar closed, the party went upstairs to Bentley’s nightclub, which opened at 10pm.
    Rowlands said: “My friends were speaking to a couple of lads. “There was no animosity, I was drunk and enjoying myself.”
    The court heard that Rowlands was then asked to leave by ­doormen who accused her of assaulting someone.
    Magistrates watched a 30-second CCTV clip from the club which showed Rowlands knocking a baseball cap off Paul Shortman’s head before picking it up off the floor and swinging her arm in a bid to put it back on him.
    Her solicitor Simon Martin said the footage showed her chatting to Mr Shortman at the bar and showed her knocking his cap off by hitting the peak.
    Mr Martin asked her: “What was going through your mind?”
    She replied: “I was just drunk. I was having a bit of fun. I had done it to a lad earlier. It was just a bit of fun, really.”
    Mr Martin asked: “Did you have any intent to harm him?”
    She replied: “No.” Mr Martin said the CCTV showed her walk across the dancefloor and pick up the cap.
    She said: “I was just wanting to put his cap back on.”
    Mr Martin said Mr Shortman ducked and the cap went on the floor again without physical contact.
    Rowlands said: “I was drunk. It was just a bit of fun, a bit of ­banter. I just could not believe it, that I could get into trouble for knocking someone’s cap off. It’s my party trick, knocking someone’s cap off and putting it back on.”
    Cross-examined by prosecutor Rachel Drew she agreed that she had told police in interview that she was “like an animal” when she had been drinking.
    Rowlands told police: “I do not drink often but when I do, I make up for time. I am like an animal.”
    She agreed that she had thought Mr Shortman was one of a group of lads they had been chatting to at the downstairs bar.
    She said: “We were having drinks with different people. We were just chilling. We had been having some fun downstairs, singing Sweet Caroline and jumping around and I knocked this lad’s cap off.”

    Rowlands disagreed that her actions had been reckless.
    She added: “I did not mean him any harm or to hurt him and you can see that on the video. It was just a bit of banter which has been taken the wrong way.”
    In his closing speech Mr Martin said: “The video speaks for itself. Yes, she knocks his cap off and it goes to the floor. It is not a criminal offence. This is not a case of someone being punched or kicked. You can see it for what it is, a storm in a tea cup.”
    The court heard Mr Shortman had not attended to give evidence.
    Chairman of the magistrates Duncan Campbell said the prosecution had not proved assault.
    He added: “It is clear at the time that you were drunk, fooling around having fun. It is for the prosecution to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and that you intended to use force.
    “It is telling that Mr Shortman has not attended and that your actions were not consensual. Therefore we find you not guilty.”
    Rowlands, of Prestbury, Cheshire, was dealt with separately for being drunk and disorderly outside the club.
    She had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing. For that she was fined £100, with £85 costs and a £40 surcharge.
    PC Stephen Gunning told the court that Rowlands had been “stumbling with her speech slurred and her eyes glazed”.
    She was abusive to officers and a body-worn camera showed her shouting at them to “f*** off” before she was cuffed and arrested.
    Mr Martin said Rowlands had reacted badly to having been thrown out of the nightclub for an assault which she felt she had not committed.
    He said that she “readily accepts that she lost it and is remorseful”.
    Mr Martin said she was a stay-at-home mum with no income and was not in receipt of any benefits.
    Rowlands was given 90 days to pay the £225 in fines and costs.

    It is not known how much of a potential tax bill he is trying to fight off but it is likely to be hundreds of thousands more.
    But he is set to be named in the next two weeks after High Court judges ruled this month it was “highly unusual” to allow his identity to be concealed.
    Tax experts believe he is a footballer or ex-player because he has apparently been involved in more than once tax avoidance scheme.
    Many aces were advised to invest in such vehicles that HMRC later cracked down on.

    Football stars also often set up companies to receive image rights money, which is then liable for corporation tax at a lower rate than income tax.
    The wrangle began in 2019 when the star appealed to the First Tier Tribunal “tax court” about deductions HMRC denied him for income tax purposes.
    He then applied for anonymity at a hearing in July 2021.
    That September, the FTT said the preliminary proceedings should be heard in secret to protect his private or family life and keep “sensitive information” out of the public domain.
    Most read in Football
    HMRC appealed, arguing that the FTT decision “erred in law”.
    Now High Court Upper Tax Tribunal judges have ruled the star should be named.
    Dan Neidle, founder of think tank Tax Policy Associates, said: “Tax appeals are almost always public, so it is outrageous someone is trying to fight HMRC behind closed doors.
    “And our best guess is it’s a footballer or ex-footballer.” More

    Today they were pictured together for the first time since the split as Annie handed over their eldest son Roman to Man City’s Kyle, in Prestbury, Cheshire.
    Annie, who was not wearing her wedding band, was seen putting on a brave face.
    She is due in March and gave a glimpse of her bump.
    Kyle, 33, collected cases before father and son headed to last night’s Fifa Best Awards in London.

    At the midday drop-off, he and Annie chatted briefly before she hugged Roman, 12, and said goodbye.
    A source confirmed to The Sun: “Annie is six months pregnant with their fourth child. It should be a time of great joy and excitement.
    “Instead, she’s struggling greatly with the fall-out from his latest sex scandal.
    “She’s understandably fragile but doing everything to protect her children and prepare for the arrival of their fourth.

    “To his credit, Kyle is trying to put on a united front to limit the damage they have been exposed to.
    “It’s a little bit too late, but he’s trying.”
    The source said Annie told only a handful of friends and family about the pregnancy and was desperate to keep it quiet.
    They added: “She was distraught after speculation emerged at the weekend.
    “It’s every woman’s right to be able to announce they’re expecting — not someone else.
    “She was deeply hurt by what was said, especially at a time when her world is currently in free fall.”

    The drop-off took place at Prestbury’s Mottram Hall — where the Walkers wed in November 2021.
    The source denied claims Kyle was kicked out five months ago, and said he was given his marching orders after Lauryn told Annie the truth.
    Model Lauryn, who gave birth to Kyle’s son Kairo in April 2020, messaged stunned Annie a day after Boxing Day.
    Annie suspected he was the father of her second child but had no proof until Lauryn presented her with DNA results and legal documents proving her worst fears.
    Lauryn, 32, told her: “I don’t have two baby daddies. I have one.”
    She then forwarded a photo of Kyle secretly enjoying a playdate with their two children in a park.
    Heartbroken Annie banished £160,000-a-week Kyle as her family rallied around her.
    Kyle, who captained City in a 3-2 win against Newcastle at the weekend, is now living in a rented apartment nearby.
    He apologised to Annie last week after she confirmed she was “taking time away”.
    Kyle had previously been unmasked as dad to Lauryn’s first child Kairo, now three.
    He promised to have nothing more to do with Lauryn or his son.
    But in September 2022 he met her in secret at a lawyer’s office.
    The pair resumed contact and weeks later Lauryn became pregnant with their second child.
    She gave birth to a daughter in July and refused to reveal the dad’s identity but repeatedly teased it online.

    At the weekend, Lauryn revealed why she delivered the news to Annie over Christmas.
    She said: “I kept saying to Kyle, ‘You need to tell Annie that you are our daughter’s father and you’re having a relationship with your children.
    “We need to start 2024 out in an open way. If everyone knows where they stand. they can make their own adult choices in life.”
    Lauryn said she did not want to cause “any more heartache” for Annie but said Kyle was too weak to tell the truth.
    She added: “I didn’t want them to split up but it had to be out in the open for all of our sakes.”
    Sources said Kyle and Annie’s marriage had been on the rocks in the months after Lauryn gave birth and that the latest scandal is the “final straw”.

    A WIDOW’S plans to get England’s Three Lions on her footie-mad hubby’s headstone have been blocked as she needs the King’s permission.Tracy Bilclough promised John, who died in 2020 aged 60, the emblem would mark his grave.

    The engraving was blocked by a judge who told Tracy she would need the King’s permission to use the Three Lions emblemCredit: Roland Leon
    But a Church of England judge refused as the “stylized heraldic lions” belong to the Crown and they had to be removed from the gravestone in Stretton-on-Dunsmore, Warks.
    Retired carer Tracy, 63, has written to King Charles twice asking for his permission.
    Just two rows back from John’s grave is a headstone incorporating a Fleur de Lis, another heraldic symbol but one associated with the French royal family.
    Another nearby grave featured a thistle emblem, symbolising Scotland.

    “When I was forced to have the Three Lions sanded off, I cried my eyes out.”
    The judge told Tracy in his ruling that the lions are part of the Royal Arms of England.
