Keeping up with Royston Drenthe

Hercules' Royston Drenthe has been in hot water with the police

Up to last week, life was bright and beautiful for the great, the one, the only Royston Drenthe. His impressive physical effort on the pitch, even if a tad bit chaotic, had earned him a starting spot in his new club, Hercules, as well as the full support of the alicantinos. For a Real Madrid reject who barely played last season, there were plenty of reasons to celebrate, right?

And some kind of celebration must indeed have happened between the end of Hercules' Cup tie against Malaga last Wednesday and 6.30am of the following day, the time at which Royston Drenthe's Audi was pulled over by two cops after having passed through not one, nor two, nor three, nor four, nor five ... but SIX red lights, at the flabbergasting speed of 180km/h.

Royston argued with and insulted the cops, and then explained that he had to take his female companion - lying asleep in the backseat of the car - to the hospital, as she was 'very ill'. The cops took a look at the girl, saw that she was just a bit drunk, and proceeded to escort Drenthe to the police station. The best of all this? Hercules decided not to fine the Dutchman to avoid "altering the great internal atmosphere in the squad". Great indeed.

Given that Hercules players, supporters, technical stuff and, of course, the local media have been discussing Royston in detail during the whole week, I doubt they even know they're due at Pamplona on Sunday. Great chance for Osasuna to get three easy points.

This is no laughing matter but a few Europlayers(black) have either died or got themselves in serious trouble for excessive speed. Marcel Desailley brother died in a car crash. Patrick Klievert was involved in an accident that killed someone.

several white players as well (e.g. Lee Hughes, Jordan Robertson), no need to put that slant on it.

Flying Dutchman Drenthe so sorry

FLYING Dutchman Royston Drenthe has apologised to the citizens of Alicante after he was caught driving at speeds of up 180kph last week.

Drenthe, who is on loan at newly-promoted Hercules from Real Madrid, was pulled over by police at around 4am after he ran six red lights while driving at speeds more suited to a Red Arrows fly-by.

The player, who couldn't be stopped initially because he was going so fast, claimed he was bringing a sick friend to hospital for alcohol poisoning although doctors later confirmed that the passenger was actually just extremely drunk and not in any immediate danger -- apart from slamming into a wall of course.

Drenthe, who reportedly verbally abused police at the scene, said: "I accept that I have done something wrong. I did not want to go fast for no reason, but it was for something urgent."

Drenthe signs for Kayseri Erciyesspor

Former Real Madrid winger Royston Drenthe has left Reading to join Turkish side Kayseri Erciyesspor.

The 27-year-old made 24 appearances for the Royals after signing from Russian side Alania Vladikavkaz in 2013.

Drenthe spent the first half of this season on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, making 15 appearances for the Owls.

Always sad to see talent usurped by attitude  ... is true what they say "attitude is everything!"
