For some reason I was thinking about Cardiff former players, especially the piss-poor ones and decided to see where they were at, I started off on Stephen Bywater and I was startled to find this. o.O
"In September 2010, Bywater stirred more controversy in regards of a provocative art installation in the player's garden in Sutton on the Hill, Derbyshire. The installation – a horse box with mattresses and a sex doll strapped to it with graffiti such as "love" and "Dave" sprayed on the side – brought complaints from neighbours, who decried the piece as "very ugly" and an "eyesore". Bywater, who claimed that art was his latest hobby and the installation was his masterpiece, issused a statement via Derby County stating "I would like to apologise to any supporters and local residents in Derbyshire who have been offended. It was and is still my view that my actions were made as a private citizen and in no way linked to Derby County Football Club. However, now it has been brought into the public domain, I acknowledge that this does not reflect well on me as a professional or the Club in general. I apologise again if my actions have in anyway damaged my reputation or the reputation of the Club." He eventually auctioned the piece, announcing the eBay sale via his Twitter page, saying all the proceeds would be donated to the Teen Pride charity."
If this was on his mind while playing for us, no wonder he played shit!
