NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT

It’s a hard life for former England left-back Wayne Bridge. Having been left out of Manchester City’s Champions League squad, he currently find himself in a football purgitory and has not played for the first team since last December.

Forced to train on his own, John Terry’s ex-mate must cut a rather lonely, if not tragic figure at City. However, the fact that he is picking up £90,000 a week (£4.7million a year) must ease the pain somewhat (as must his current relationship with Frankie from the Saturdays).
