There's no doubt he was a cunt, one story on his Wiki page says after getting sent off against some side, he broke down the door of the opposition changing rooms and took a dump in the communal bath

Clubs might overlook players having the occasional drinking session etc but Friday used to do acid and heroin and that.
He was probably a right cunt.

Think a few took a look including us but I think his behaviour and refuelling was a bit more than normal footballer hijinks.

Why didn't any top clubs come in for him, or did they?
Yeah I know about his off the field antics but other genius players were tolerated as long as they produced at 3pm

West Ham were interested in signing him at some point in the mid 70s.

Ag- ''Friday, unhappy living so far from home, began to travel back to London at weekends; he avoided paying rail fares by knocking on locked toilet doors and shouting, "Tickets, please!", pretending to be the ticket inspector. When the occupant passed his ticket under the door to be checked, Friday would pick it up, walk off and use it for himself''

How the fuck did I miss hearing about Robin Friday, never heard of the bloke until today, I must have had a long bout of amnesia in the 70s, mind you, I did like a drink
Anyway, having read his Wiki, it seems he knocks Bowles, Marsh and Best into a cocked hat for off the field shenanigans

I can't imagine anyone could outdo Robin Friday. Apparently the story that he did a crap in Mark Lawrenson's kitbag after being sent off for kicking the defender in the face may not be true, but there seem to be hundreds of other incidents that did happen
After packing up playing he was sent to prison for impersonating a police officer so he could confiscate and use people's drugs.
The book The Greatest Player You Never Saw is wonderful. but his Wiki page alone is an epic:
