More
of the players side has come out today in the Sun and you
couldn't make it up.
The
girls had a go at Dickov saying they bet he'd have a small
willy, and he said "you've go a fat bum". The judge
must have wondered what the hell he had in front of him. The
interesting bit is...apparently it was Freund (married, 2
kids) who had the consensual sex.
Here's
the Sun's story...
A
JIBE about the size of soccer star Paul Dickovs manhood
triggered the Leicester City rape case, the accused
players insist.
The
Sun can reveal that Dickov and team-mates Keith Gillespie
and Frank Sinclair have told a Spanish judge that they did
not have any sexual contact with the women.
But
fellow player Steffen Freund a married dad-of-two, admitted
having consensual sex with one of the three women involved
in the scandal.
Dickov,
Gillespie and Sinclair who flew back to Britain yesterday
after being freed on bail said the rape claims were
made after they became embroiled in an angry clash with their
accuser and her two pals.
Team
captain Dickov said under oath that one woman grabbed him
by the neck during an argument which broke out after she told
him: Youre very short and I bet you have a little
d***.
His team-mates said they simply pulled the woman off 5ft 5in
Dickov as they tried to break up the row.
The
players defence was revealed to The Sun by a legal source.
They
told their stories in a dramatic court showdown in Cartagena,
southern Spain, on Thursday night at which the women
also gave their version of events.
Striker
Dickov, 31, spent 15 minutes giving evidence to Judge Jacinto
Areste.
He
claimed he went to have a crafty cigarette in Gillespies
room, No 305, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in La Manga
where Leicester had gone for warm weather training.
When
he got there he found the 29-year-old winger chatting and
having drinks with the three African-born women.
But
within minutes one of the trio began poking fun at his height
then made the manhood jibe.
The
legal source said: Dickov replied, But youve
got a fat bottom. Then he told how the girl taunted
him, saying, Your wife would love to have a bottom like
mine.
Dickov
hit back, saying No, my wife is tall and beautiful.
He told the court how the girl suddenly took offence
and grabbed him by the neck.
Dickov
said they were separated by other players in the room and
the girls were ushered out.
German
international midfielder Freund, 34, answered the judges
questions for ten minutes.
The
source said: Freund admitted that he did have sex with
one of the girls that night.
He
admits chatting to the girl who was sitting on a sofa in the
hotel casino in the early hours of Monday March 1.
The
pair went back to Room 301, where all three of the girls say
they were staying. Freund maintains he went back to his room
after finishing with the girl.
But
he described how about 15 minutes later he heard raised voices
from Gillespies room and went to investigate.
The
midfielder said he found one woman holding Dickov by the throat
and shouting abuse.
He
added that he helped to get her off, then ushered her and
her pals out of the room.
The
36-year-old woman with whom Freund had sex then faced a barrage
of questions from the judge lasting 50 minutes.
She
did not dispute that she romped with him but claimed
he did not return to his room afterwards.
The
hearing was also told how the soccer stars and women crossed
paths in the hotel.
One
woman claimed defender Sinclair, 33 yesterday, approached
them as they dined near the table where the players were eating.
He is said to have told them: You are my sisters
a reference to their colour.
He
chatted to them in a friendly way for a while. And the two
groups bumped into each other later in the hotel casino.
Judge
Areste freed the players on £200,000 bail at the end
of the hearing, which lasted 14 HOURS.
The
trio, who had been in Sangonera jail for more than a week,
flew home on a budget easyJet flight from Alicante to Luton.
But
other passengers were outraged when the flight was called
in the departure lounge and the stars were marched
to the head of the queue by Leicesters chief executive
Tim Davies.
They
were then allowed on to the plane first as other travellers
jeered.
One holidaymaker said: They were treated like VIPs.
Youd have thought theyd have shown a little more
humility.
There
was more anger at Luton, where a special minibus was laid
on for them while other trippers took a standard bus to the
terminal. The players were then whisked away with a police
escort.
Leicester
spokesman Paul Mace said the three were in good spirits.
But
they would not be considered for selection for the Foxes
game against Birmingham City today because they had endured
a difficult time and need to be with their families.
Mr
Mace added: They will now be engaging their own legal
advisers and will be working very hard to prove their innocence.
He
revealed that Leicester players had until now been allowed
a drink after a game, but their bar at the club would now
be alcohol-free
The
Sun also has a comment in its Sun says coulumn again that
many fans will identify with.
"WHY
should anyone feel sympathy for the freed Leicester footballers?
Their
club says they wont play this weekend because they had
a tough time behind bars.
Phooey!
Its their own stupid fault.
Fans
would think a lot more of Leicester City FC if the club had
the guts to say the trio werent playing because theyd
let everyone down.
They
were on a special trip to boost morale so they could try to
avoid relegation.
They
repaid that generosity paid for by the fans who buy
tickets by going out on the lash and mixing with tarts.
Spare
us the crocodile tears."
