It's sad. I guess Trevor is disappointed as any parent who would find themselves in this position. Trevor would have given him lots of advice in the past few years however as this young man is 24 there is not an awful lot he can do other to to provide help if he asks.

i doubt he did it because he neede the money or because he's some kind of career criminal. he probably thought he was being funny robbing a villa mans yard. bet he ain't laughing now

If you get the Mercury you can see pictures of the inside of Lee Hendries luxury home Finwood Lawn.

I am not so much shocked that the offspring of a multi millionaire bluenose feels the need to indulge in a bit of housebreaking.

No, what is really shocking is that Lee Hendrie appears to have quite good taste in home decor and furnishings - certainly better than Stephen Irelands.

Which itself is not as shocking as seeing evidence of the lifestyle that being, at best, a mediocre Premier League footballer buys.

Didn't Satan threaten to resign from the Sty once because someone gave his son "a funny look" in one of the Hos-piss-tality cupboards after a game?

Or did I dream it?

I'm sure I remember reading that Francis jr and Hendrie were good mates. It sounds like either (a) Hendrie has pissed him off and he's after revenge, or (b) they're still mates and Francis decided to rob him anyway, making him a reprehensible human being.

If he's found guilty, of course.

I think he threatened to quit because Kaz had started trying to make a few more quid by flogging tickets to the oinks for the suites his family used and someone called his son a nasty name or something like that. I couldn't decide if that was a news story or an estate agent ad trying to help sell Hendrie's house. You have to sympathise though, it is annoying when someone breaks into one of the cottages in the grounds of your second home.

Yes, we've had that problem ourselves.

Incredibly, the Mercury have managed to plug their usual anti Villa agenda and have basically written a story that says "Nice man's son alleged to have burgled nasty man's house."

My brother's best mate is Francis's other son, and I know those two are close mates.

The bastards have managed to find a picture of him in a Tamworth shirt as well.

I'm sick of the press and their anti-Tammurf agenda.

They were probably looking at the "666" birthmark on his face.

I wonder if he walks backwards too?
