da premier bet： According to The Mirror, former West Ham man James Collins has ripped up a £10,000-a-week, five-week contract as he sustained a calf injury in training just hours after signing it – meaning that he will have sacrificed £50,000 by the time the deal expires in January.
Steve Bruce called upon the Welshman when injuries and suspensions scythed down his defensive options and, after the 57-year-old was sacked in early October, Collins continued to impress under new honcho Dean Smith and thus earned himself a short-term deal with the Villans.
However, in a truly class gesture, the ‘Ginger Pele’ has effectively refused pay after being ruled out for the remainder of his contract thanks to the untimely training ground injury – bosses are understood to be highly impressed with such a rare show of decency and will give the 50-cap international every opportunity to earn a new deal at Villa Park when he returns to fitness.
Here’s how the Villa fans reacted on Twitter…
