Former Millwall, Wimbledon and Shrewsbury forward Steve Anthrobus, 37, has been fined £500 for having $ex in a public place: a field in Brownhills, Staffordshire. He admitted outraging public decency along with Debbie Matthews, 40, who was fined £250. Anthrobus admitted the charge after making what his solicitor Stephen Thomas described as "a difficult call to his wife" before the hearing. Anthrobus came second in a BBC Football Focus poll of the Shrews' cult heroes in 2004. After this escapade, he'll win it next time.

When he played for Shrewsbury, he used to visit his best mate who lives opposite me a lot..... he was always walking as he was banned from driving......

Some great letters in today's Fiver on this subject:

 

"Steve Anthrobus received a £500 fine for having $ex in a public place, whereas his companion received a fine of just £250 (yesterday's news in brief). Did the judge decide she had suffered enough or did he do it a second time on his own?" - Guy Campbell.

 

"He wasn't called Throb for nothing, was he?" - Phil Williams.

 

"Am I the only one appalled by the falling standards of retired footballers and where they choose to partake in extra-curricular activities? These people have already taken over our motorway lay-byes and Little Chef car parks and now they want the fields too? If the government has any sense, it'll create a taskforce and hire Stan Collymore as some sort of dogging czar before the fear of stumbling across Martin Keown making the beast with two backs in a nearby meadow becomes a reality" - Andrew Crawford.
