Townsend's Football Manager predicament
Nine years ago, Townsend's girlfriend, Hazel O'Sullivan, discovered a screenshot about Football Manager on Twitter that her partner was fined for "failing to report to the training ground for a training session."
O'Sullivan was concerned about Townsend's whereabouts if he wasn't at home or training. She thought the screenshot was real.
The veteran winger recently recalled the ordeal.
"I get a text from her one day and I receive a screenshot from Twitter. As you do, she was searching my name on Twitter and a fine came up – Andros Townsend accepts his fine for reporting late to training," he said via Sportbible. "So her mind is going off; if he wasn't at training and he wasn't at home then where was he? It could have been a real sticky one!"
Townsend said the situation was resolved after she realized it was a screengrab.
"But she's messaged me and it turns out the screen grab is from the popular video game Football Manager."
The two are now husband and wife and have two children together.
