#1 Rush hour and hangover

At least Matty is dressed properly for the game

There are people, who are ready to work despite having a hangover from the previous night. But is it possible to go to work, if someone has been chugging all night till next day morning? Well, Matty Pattison believes that it is possible.

In 2008 the South African footballer visited a nightclub after his side Norwich City, defeated Sheffield United 2-0. The next day morning, still drunk, Pattison woke up to the fear of getting late for practice. Wearing just his T-shirt, with no shoes, and reported, just his underwear, the former Norwich City player began driving to the training ground in haste.

The police tailed him halfway and pulled him over. He was charged for drunk driving and had to be checked into a rehab. What makes this incident funny is the fact that he was arrested on Sunday morning, and there no training scheduled for that day, and the police did say he was fully dressed, phew.
