    Cops seized CCTV footage of Walker’s drunken antics
    Married Three Lions star Walker was questioned on the eve of his side’s FA Cup quarter-final against Burnley.
    He was quizzed for indecent exposure but later dealt with for being drunk and disorderly following a review of all the available evidence.
    The England ace was issued with an out of court disposal order reserved for “low level offending”.
    In a statement Cheshire Police said: “On Wednesday 8 March, Cheshire Constabulary was made aware of a video circulating on social media in relation to an alleged incident at a bar in the Wilmslow area.

    “Officers have now concluded their enquiries which included speaking to those directly involved.
    “A 32-year-old man from Prestbury voluntarily attended a police station for questioning on 16 March. 
    “He has been dealt with by an out of court disposal and the matter is now closed.”
    Despite the probe, Walker was included in England’s squad for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine.

    He was named in the team just hours after being quizzed by cops yesterday.
    Gareth Southgate revealed the decision came after speaking “at length” with the defender.
    It is now unclear if Southgate will keep faith with the defender.
    Walker, dropped to the subs bench after the scandal, was filmed in a bar drunkenly pulling out his manhood.
    The Sun revealed the shocking CCTV footage from inside Revolution in Wilmslow, Cheshire, earlier this month.
    The police announced they were investigating and seized the two-hour footage, filmed from several angles.
    They identified two separate occasions across a 90-minute drinking session where the married dad-of-four exposes his manhood. 
    In one clip, a young woman standing next to him shrieks and points at it as Walker laughs with a pal while holding it in his hand. 
    He also groped the blonde – not his model wife, Annie, 30 – snogged her and dirty-danced with another as he and pals necked vodka. 
    But as the police investigation began City refused to make any comment and insisted it was “a personal matter”.
    They insisted privately that Walker had not broken any club rules – despite footage clearly showing him revealing his genitals on camera.
    Women’s Aid were critical of the club’s silence.
    They said: “Indecent exposure is a serious issue, and those who expose themselves purposefully in a public place will be seeing what they can get away with.
    “If employers, which includes football clubs, do not take it seriously, it sends out a clear message about what is acceptable behaviour.”
    Walker, dropped to the subs bench after The Sun broke the story, was filmed in a bar drunkenly pulling out his manhood in 90-minutes of shame.
    The £150,000-a-week player used the down-time to go on a massive booze bender.
    Walker’s group arrived in a blacked-out minibus from the same firm used by City at 5.23pm.
    Footage showed him already unsteady on his feet and wearing a puffer jacket and cap. 
    He staggered to the entrance with one of the women.
    Moments later, he approached her from behind and pawed at her breasts before pulling his trousers down and holding his manhood.
    A young woman standing next to him then shrieks and points at it as Walker laughs with a pal.
    Walker then downed bottles of beer, necked shots and danced provocatively with both women.
    He also groped the blonde – not his model wife, Annie, 30 – snogged her and dirty-danced with another as he and pals necked vodka.
    The group set off to leave in the minibus shortly before 7pm but Walker was pulled back to pay the £250 bar bill.
    Walker was so drunk he was filmed fumbling for his wallet before a pal returned from the minibus and rifled through his pockets for a payment method.
    Police launched an investigation and seized CCTV footage from a number of camera angles.
    The troubling incident involving Walker is just the latest scandal to engulf the player.
    In 2019, Ex on the Beach TV reality star Laura Brown said she and Walker repeatedly romped in his Bentley.
    Walker was shown the red card by distraught Annie but she took him back into their Cheshire home in a bid to start again.
    But she ended up giving him the boot again at the start of Covid in March 2020 when he revealed model Lauryn Goodman was having his baby.
    Walker moved into an £8,000-a-month flat nearby – and days later was caught breaching lockdown rules by having an orgy with two hookers.
    Despite his history of cheating, Annie forgave him and he proposed with a £250,000 engagement ring.
    The couple wed in front of a handful of guests and a registrar at five-star Mottram Hall hotel in Cheshire at the end of November 2021.
    The pair, who have three sons, Roman, Riaan and Reign, started dating in their teens, with Annie previously describing it as “love at first sight”.
    But the latest scandal has heaped further pressure on the couple – and threatened to ignite Wagatha #2 after Becky Vardy called Annie a “door mat”.
    Pals said Annie was furious with Becky, 41, for “dragging her name through the dirt” in the wake of the flashing shame.
    Becky was accused of indirectly mocking Annie over Walker’s antics.
    The wife of Leicester City ace Jamie, 36, denied the claim before firing off a fuming Instagram post.
    It read: “Waking up this morning to my name being associated with another delightful story in yet another opportunity to attack me.
    “Funny though isn’t it that it’s my name she wants to use rather than the people actually laughing at her for being a doormat.
    “Art of deflection to a T. Great at playing the victim is our Annie.
    “I think she needs to focus with what’s going on in her own life instead of trying to attack me by bringing me into her drama.
    “I’m literally tired of being nice to people with short memories. 
    “I’ve stayed silent while she’s bashed me in the media, made up lies about me in her little community like a group of playground bullies.
    “Just leave me alone.”
    The Sun contacted a representative for Walker and the Football Association for comment.

    Maja previously opened up about the raid on the family home in a harrowing Instagram post.
    She wrote: “During Victor’s game this Wednesday night we had a break-in at our house in Manchester.
    “I was home alone with both the kids but we managed to hide and lock ourselves in a room before they entered our house.
    “We are okay under the circumstances, but it was obviously a very traumatic and scary moment for both me and my little kids.
    “We are now in Sweden and are spending some time off with our families. Love, Maja.”
    Ralf Rangnick, then-interim manager, said at the time the Sweden international told him he did not want to leave his wife and children at home alone.

    While Ward, 20, was jailed for two years and eight months after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit burglary, dangerous driving, driving without insurance, possession of a bladed article and possession of cannabis.
    Detective Constable Chris Bromley from GMP Serious Organised Crime Group said: “This group were prolific thieves, and these were really intrusive crimes where they would often break into people’s homes and steal the cars from their drives, leaving people unable to get to work or take their children to school.
    “These men had no regard for public safety with their behaviour and reckless driving, and I hope this incident demonstrates that no matter how organised a gang may think they are, we will use all the experience and resources available to available to put these individuals behind bars.”

    But there are fears the two groups could clash at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium after a video emerged of Napoli supporters aiming missiles at a bus full of travelling Frankfurt fans.
    Local authorities had initially banned anyone from Germany from buying a ticket for the clash amid security fears.

    It comes after arrests and injuries were reported at the first leg amid violent altercations between the sets of fans.

    Boxing champ Khan, wearing a pinstripe suit, told Snaresbrook Crown Court he heard wife Faryal, 31, “screaming and crying” during the incident, which was over in seconds.
    And he revealed how it was “totally different” to the tough situations he has been put in when fighting someone in the ring.

    “I didn’t want to look at the gun. I looked away. I literally saw into the barrel.
    “I was really scared. I’ve got three kids. My wife was next to me. I was really really scared.
    “I’m a sportsman, a fighter. I’ve always been put in the toughest situations when I go into the ring and fight someone. This was totally different. Very very scary.”
    Asked how close the robber was to him, Khan said: “Very close. He was really close.
    Most read in Boxing
    “I remember the gun – a foot from my face. I remember looking right into the barrel there, looking into the gun barrel.”
    The incident happened moments after he left the Sahara Grill with his wife in Leyton, East London, last April.
    Khan crossed the road and saw a man running towards him, initially thinking someone was messing about or playing a prank.
    He said he didn’t know what the gunman wanted originally but it then hit him that he was after the watch. Khan took it off straight away and handed it to him.
    He told the jury: “I still didn’t look at him. I looked down and handed it over. Handed him the watch.
    “When someone puts a gun to your face you think he’s going to shoot. I looked away and handed it over.
    “I saw them run off. That’s when people ran across to see what’s happening.
    “I could hear my wife screaming and crying. I looked around to see if she was OK. I went to Faryal.”
    He said he “didn’t want to be there” because it was getting busy but had to wait for the police to arrive to give them his statements.
    But he did say he felt more comfort when people ran over to him, adding: “During the incident I was on my own. When I went to my wife and saw people I felt a little safer.”
    He told the court that his rose-gold diamond encrusted watch, estimated to be worth £71,000, was given to him after he won a boxing fight.
    Friend of eight years Omar Khalid, who had dined with the Khans, had gone ahead to get the car.
    He told the court: “There were two guys walking towards the car. Amir was next to the car.
    “When I looked I thought they might be fans speaking to him, but I felt someone had been thudded into the car.
    “I looked towards the passenger window, and saw one of them had a gun.
    “I froze and thought, ‘What do I do here?’. He was an arms’ length away from Amir.
    “He had the gun to Khan’s head or face. I decided to get out of the car, and as soon as I got out of the car the gun was pointed towards me. It was a black handgun.
    “They were just walking off and got into the Mercedes.
    “It lasted, from when I first saw them to when it finished, it was about 30 seconds to a minute.”
    Defendants Ahmed Bana and Nural Amin, both 25, and Ismail Mohamed, 24, deny conspiracy to commit robbery. Bana also denies having an imitation firearm.
    Dante Campbell, 21, has previously admitted being the gunman during the hold-up in April.
    Hamza Kulane, said to be involved as one of three ‘spotters’, has not been traced.

    The robber and an accomplice were then driven away in a silver Mercedes.

    The Khans had gone with Mr Khalid to eat at the Sahara Grill in Leyton, East London.
    Prosecutor Philip Evans KC told the court: “Mr Khalid had parked his car up on the other side of the road and, as the Khans left the restaurant, Amir stopped briefly to greet some people outside the restaurant who wanted to say hello to him.

    “He then proceeded to cross the road with Faryal following a few steps behind him.
    “As Mr Khan approached Mr Khalid’s car he looked back to see where Faryal was and the next thing he knew, a man with a gun was running towards him.”
    They had been followed into the restaurant by Nurul Amin, Ismail Mohammed, as well as Hamza Kulane who then phoned Ahmed Bana and Dante Campbell, it was alleged.
    CCTV was said to show Bana, Campbell and an unidentified man leaving Bana’s home and arriving in the Mercedes at a road near the restaurant.

    Mr Evans told Snaresbrook crown court: “The people in the restaurant had taken them to observe the person who was going to be the target of the conspiracy to rob.”
    He added that as the couple left the man pointed the gun at the former world champion’s face and said: “Take off the watch.”
    He added: “Mr Khan, unsurprisingly, took off his watch and handed it to the gunman who ran away immediately and as he did so pointed the gun towards Mr Khalid, who was nearby.
    “A second male had also run towards Mr Khan and he, too, turned and ran away with the gunman once the watch had been taken.”
    The court was told the robbers fled in the Mercedes, driven by Bana.
    Bana and Amin, both 25, and Mohammed, 24, deny conspiracy to commit robbery. Bana also denies having an imitation firearm.
