    The since-deleted footage sparked criticism from fans as the ace, who turned 30 the previous day, could be seen with a group of people singing and dancing in a car.
    Wickham himself has responded to the controversy, with a statement posted to social media.
    He wrote: “I’m obviously aware of a video circulating on social media. I know my responsibility as a professional.
    “Playing for Cardiff City is a huge privilege, I’ve been so welcomed by you all and I will always give 100%.

    “To lose the game the way we did yesterday hurt more than ever, even though you will feel it doesn’t seem that way to me.”
    Wickham came on as a substitute in the match before Swansea won the South Wales derby to a 99th minute stunner from Ben Cabango.
    The under-fire striker added: “I hope you can all understand and I will do my best [to] help my team and this club to achieve the best possible outcome this season.”
    A spokesperson for Cardiff City told Wales Online that the club was “looking into” the video.

    It comes less than a week after the Government announced plans to make possession of nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas, illegal.
    The previously legal high can be highly dangerous if abused.
    Taking too much can cause nerve damage, heart issues and even death as users can slip into unconsciousness and asphyxiate.
    It comes after fellow footballer Brandon Williams, who plays for Premier League side Manchester United, was seemingly caught puffing the same gas.
    The £60,000-a-week full back was snapped inhaling from a balloon while sitting as a passenger in a Brabus supercar near the club’s training ground.
    A witness told the Sun: “It was so obvious to anyone driving by what he was doing.
    “Anyone who follows United or football seriously would have recognised him instantly.
    “It’s irresponsible considering he’s a public figure.

    She has almost 100,000 followers on Instagram
    But she is also an OnlyFans model herself, and has revealed what footballers would and wouldn’t be able to make the switch over to the platform.
    As quoted by indy100, she said: “Harry Kane, for me it’s a red card straight away.
    “Better not even try, I don’t think he has the profile of the platform. He seems to be very shy and quiet, in my opinion it wouldn’t work.
    “In addition to being quite shy, Harry Kane is a little clumsy.

    “Perhaps this feature of his makes it a little difficult for him to be successful on OnlyFans.”
    Kane, now England’s record goalscorer with 55 goals, announced on Wednesday he was expecting his fourth baby with wife Kate.
    And Debora admitted Kane looked the part, saying: “I think he doesn’t call attention so much, he’s more of a daddy vibe.”
    On the other hand, she reckons Manchester City striker Erling Haaland “would be very successful” on OnlyFans.

    Debora explained: “[He is] Tall, strong and young, people would go crazy to see everything he posted, so he can join because he will be a mainstay of the platform.”
    The same goes for football icon Cristiano Ronaldo and superstar Kylian Mbappe.
    Debora said: “He [Ronaldo] is already a sexy symbol. With a fully toned body, he likes to take care of his body, he is the perfect stereotype for success.”
    On Mbappe she added: “He is also young and very strong, in addition to having many fans, when he retires from football he will be able to join OnlyFans which will be very successful.”
    Unfortunately, Debora does not believe the same can be said for World Cup winner Lionel Messi.
    On the Argentine, she said: “I would give him a yellow card, he seems very nice, very quiet.
    “I don’t know if he would be so successful, but it’s worth a try.”
    Debora boasts almost 100,000 followers on Instagram.
