A Christmas Bash

‘ACTOR takes coke is, as we have observed before, on a par with, say, Kimberly Quinn cheats on her husband or footballers’ Christmas party ends in a brawl.

‘What? I haven’t done you?’

And so it is that we have to report to you this morning that Manchester United’s Christmas party ended in, you guessed it, a brawl.

The Sun says fists flew not once but twice during the bash, during which stars including Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney ‘guzzled’ £50,000 of champagne.

‘First a young spotty friend of one of the reserve players, who had been drinking all afternoon, punched Darren Fletcher and knocked him to the floor,’ an onlooker at Manchester’s Prohibition bar says.

‘Darren’s mates joined in to help him – Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney, Gary Neville, Wes Brown.

‘It turned into a scuffle between about eight or ten of them, but was quickly calmed down.’

Later on, trouble flared again when a man in a white suit starting squaring up to Rio Ferdinand.

‘All of a sudden he landed a punch on Rio – and then it all kicked off again. By this time everyone was well-oiled and everybody piled in.’

What Rio said to the unidentified man in the white suit is not divulged.

But one onlooker said the man became upset when the England centre-half started taunting him about never having gone to bed with Kimberly Quinn…’
