Ryan Crowther

Released from the club by mutual consent.

 

And just like that, one of the most pointless players in our history is no more.

[Major Tom]

Another indictment on our shoddy youth scouting policy.

[constipatinator]

He wasn't actually terminated, it was only his contract.

"They are finding players like Ngog, players with quality".

Wasn't Parry a good friend of Crowther's family? I heard he was bought on Coco's recommendation.

Shamed football starlet’s slide from Premier League to jail

 

A footballer’s career is in ruins after he was jailed for four months for a drunken attack on a taxi driver.

 

Ryan Crowther, 22, who played for Stockport County before being signed up by Liverpool, kicked and punched cabbie Syed Shah after downing around 20 shots of vodka during a night out in Watford.

 

Crowther flew into an uncontrollable rage after arguing with his girlfriend and police had to pepper spray him as he was pulled off the driver.

 

The attack happened in August last year when midfielder Crowther was a player for Liverpool. But within days of the club learning about his arrest his contract was cancelled.

 

Crowther returned to County for a trial and played a pre-season friendly against Woodley Sports. But the player was not offered a deal.

 

Crowther was jailed at St Albans Crown Court after being found guilty of assaulting Mr Shah causing him actual bodily harm.

 

Passing sentence Judge Stephen Warner told Crowther, of Wharfedale Road, Reddish, Stockport: “This was gratuitous, unprovoked and unjustified violence. You have tragically thrown away a promising career.”

 

The attack happened in the early hours by a taxi close to Watford town centre.

 

Earlier that evening Crowther had gone into the town with his girlfriend and others to celebrate the birthday of another girl.

 

He said he drank ‘three or four’ vodka and Red Bulls which were ‘mostly doubles’.

 

He went on to another bar where he drank a further three or four doubles.

 

He said he had drunk what was for him a ‘usual amount’.

 

The court heard Crowther and his group then went onto a nightclub where he drank another three or four doubles of vodka and Red Bull.

 

By the time he left the club he said he was ‘very drunk’ and he then started arguing with his girlfriend as they were walking down the street. Moments later he came upon Mr Shah who was standing outside his car and talking to another driver.

 

For no apparent reason Crowther began throwing punches at the driver. Police saw what was happening and rushed to intervene. They were forced to pepper spray the player and put him in handcuffs.

 

Crowther said he had no recollection of assaulting the driver.

 

At his trial he pleaded not guilty to racially aggravated assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

 

The jury acquitted him of that charge, but found him guilty of an alternative charge of assaulting Mr Shah.

 

Andrew Cohen, defending, said the player had drunk heavily that night because he was nervous at being in the company of a lot of people he didn’t know.

 

He said: “The effect on him has been enormous because he had a promising career that is now effectively over.”
