Don’t Ask Damien Duff to Mail Your Love Letters
By: Laurie | February 5th, 2008
Damien Duff, footballer from Newcastle United, has the worst luck with the postal system. They just won’t deliver his letters.
And he’s really, really happy about it.
Newcastle United footballer Damien Duff has escaped a second motoring charge after another letter to police went missing, it has emerged. The CPS dropped the case after he proved he had posted documents to Northumbria Police.
…the hearing was dropped when the 28-year-old’s solicitors were able to provide proof of postage, which they said showed he had sent the documents off. The force denied receiving the correspondence, but because the item was not sent by recorded delivery, it was impossible to tell whether it had been mislaid or was lost in the system
The best part of this story? It was the second time this has happened. Because we all know how unreliable the British post is.
In October he escaped prosecution in the same court when his Range Rover was allegedly caught on camera doing 102mph on the A1. He was asked to inform police who was driving, and subsequently charged with failing to provide information, but the case was dropped when he could prove postage.
Don’t try this at home, ladies and gents.
Unless you’re a Premiership footballer.
