CARDIFF BLUES HAVE sacked Gavin Henson today following his drunken behaviour on a flight back from Glasgow on Saturday.
The Blues announced that Henson had been suspended on Saturday evening in the wake of their 31-3 RaboDirect PRO12 defeat to Glasgow.
Henson apologised for his behaviour, saying he was “truly embarrassed” but he has been dismissed with immediate effect this afternoon.
“The Cardiff Blues management have discussed the matter at length but have acted swiftly since the incident occurred on Saturday morning,” chief executive Richard Holland said.
“Gavin admitted himself that his behaviour was totally unacceptable and the immediate termination of his contract sends out a clear message that behaviour like that will not be tolerated at the Blues.”
“We have a duty to our supporters and sponsors to protect the good name of Cardiff Blues and those associated with our brand. Gavin Henson is obviously a talented rugby player and it’s unfortunate that his career at the Blues has ended this way.”
“However, we would like to thank him for his service and wish him the best of luck with his future career,” he added.
Fair play, no shit taken at that club
To the Connaght team manager get over to Cardiff pronto.
The Atlantic wind would blow his fake tan off, on a related note, why would you want a douche like this in your squad, not like you can rely on him.
That’s one less for us to deal with so. :)
He behaved like your average Irish traveller on flights.
Sap
I heard he had been mixing his spay tan and had a bit of a reaction,bye bye Outspan
He got drunk on a 7am flight and threw ice-cubes at people. Allegedly.
Someone stole his spray tan!!
This lad is so up his own ass! A long time ago he was decent – now he’s just embarrassing!
He didn’t do a Prendeville did he?
he’s a dirty tramp. wasnt he in hot water a few years back for spitting out a train window at people?
Poor Gavin stock up on hair gel and fake tan and hit the reality tv circuit!!! What an idiot
Gavin, Connaght still want you. All them begrudgers above are mad they cant pull a bird like Church.
She’s a mess, that is all
On a serious note, I’d say the guy has a problem, sad
A few naggins he said,it would be grand he said…..one less tallafornia like gowl to deal with,next up,jamie heaslip
What did he do exactly?
The sad reality of active alcoholism, 3 clubs in a year. Sad to see a great talent wasted, but the guy just keeps digging holes for himself.
My mate is a pilot for Flybe, doesn’t sound like he was out of control! Just behaving like an idiot! Amazed he got a ban but sure, don’t like the fella so good riddance!
Delighted. Drunken donkey.
His has wasted his talent, once he was good but his ego has got the better off him and stupid immature things he ends up doing well done Gavin
