Glen Johnson 300
Liverpool will be hoping their new recruit has matured both on and off the pitch after Johnson’s early days at Fratton Park were marred by a bizarre incident in January 2007 involving bathroom fittings from a B&Q store in Dartford, Kent.
Johnson was spotted by a security guard putting a toilet seat into a box with a cheaper price tag.
Aided by Millwall striker Ben May, he was also accused of hiding a set of taps underneath a sink at the checkout to avoid paying for them. Both were handed £80 on the spot fines by police.
At the time, a worker at the store said: “We all recognised Johnson.
“No one could quite believe a bloke like him, with all that money, would be moronic enough to nick a toilet seat. But that’s what him and May were doing.
“They were spotted by one of our security guards, a chap of 74, and cops arrived as they were trying to leave. They seemed to find the whole thing funny and couldn’t stop smirking even after they had been arrested.”
