    Before moving to the Racecourse Ground, he enjoyed spells with Dundee United, Stoke, Sheffield Wednesday, Wolves, Burnley and Hibernian.
    He also spent four years at Sunderland, but once angered fans when he posed for a picture next to a £260k Lamborghini Aventador while the club were in a relegation scrap.
    Fletcher went viral for the incident back in 2015 after receiving backlash from Sunderland supporters, so he decided to ditch the supercar for a modest 4×4.
    The striker then revealed that the picture was leaked by a salesman.

    Speaking about the backlash in 2016, he said: “We all make mistakes but I don’t regret buying my car. The fans gave me dog’s abuse for that, of course they did.
    “It would have been worse had I tweeted the picture of myself beside this car but I didn’t. I got stick for standing beside my car posing for a picture.
    “The guy I bought it through asked if he could have a picture of me. I agreed and two weeks later it fell into someone else’s hands and they tweeted it.
    “People thought I was a Billy Big Time… they saw the Lamborghini and got the wrong idea about me. I had a reputation when I was younger for showing off stuff but I was brought up in a normal family.”

    “One of the biggest selling points was the ambition of the Club, and if I can help with that then great.

    And the pair were seen sharing a laugh when Reguilon, 26, refused to grab the £60 penalty notice off the windscreen – forcing Alli round to the passenger side to get it.
    The Prem star’s purple Lamborghini Urus 4×4 was left on double yellows for around two hours.
    The pair had been dining at the swanky 20 Stories restaurant in Manchester on Tuesday afternoon.
    On the pitch, neither of the players have made appearances yet this season.

    While Dele has been out with a muscular injury, Reguilon has just joined Manchester United on loan.
    Former England international Alli has so far failed to make an impact at Everton, after switching from Spurs in January 2022.
    But the star revealed in an emotional interview in July that he had even considered hanging up his boots.
    Dele also bravely opened up about how he was sexually abused as a six-year-old – and dealing drugs aged eight.

    The attacking midfielder checked himself into rehab after excessively drinking and consuming sleeping pills following his nightmare loan spell with Besiktas.
    The football world has since thrown its support behind Alli who seemed happier when spotted out and about last month.
    On Everton’s season opener, a banner featured a picture of Dele celebrating for Everton between two club badges.
    The message said: “We are with you Dele. Together we are stronger.”
    Reguilon joined Spurs from Real Madrid in 2020 and made 52 appearances but spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid.
    But an injury crisis at Manchester United saw the Spanish star joining the Old Trafford on loan.
    United will be without Luke Shaw for an extended period of the season after he picked up a nasty muscular injury.
    And Reguilon’s arrival will give the Red Devils a boost as they add some much needed defensive reinforcements. More

    But the star, who earns in the region of £230,000 a week at Man City, has been blasted by disability campaigners for his selfish parking antics.
    Alison Kerry, of disability equality charity Scope, said: “When cars park on pavements, it makes life difficult for disabled people.
    “It can leave them with no choice but to go on to the road, which can be dangerous.
    “It’s important drivers are considerate when parking.”

    But it seems the striker – currently with Sion in Switzerland – has had enough and is cleaning out his garage.
    He told Blick: “In my garage I still have an RSQ8, 500 Abarth and GTR Nismo Nissan with 1400 hp. But I’m also selling the Abarth now.”
    Balotelli, 32, is no stranger to controversy on and off the pitch but he has also got into bother on the road.
    While with City in 2012, he crashed his Bentley in Manchester city centre, which saw his female passenger sent to hospital.

    That came two years after colliding with another car while driving his Audi A8 in Chester Road, Hulme.
    Balotelli also famously crashed his late agent Mino Raiola’s car after reversing into a lamppost while with Nice in France.
    The Italian forward’s bad luck on the road continued in 2020 when he was involved in a car accident at 6am on New Year’s Day.
    This time, Balotelli was on the passenger side of the  silver Fiat 500 Abarth that banged into the gate of a bakery in northern Brescia.

    But Balotelli has managed only six goals in 16 matches this season with his side one place from the bottom.
    This month, he finally scored his first goal in FIVE MONTHS but is yet to add to his tally.
