A FORMER Manchester City footballer has blamed the club for driving him to drink and an attempted suicide.

Jamie Tandy had developed psychological problems and turned to drink after his career at the Premier League side collapsed, said his lawyer Stuart Page. “He feels the club has not been supportive of him,” claimed Mr Page. But Tandy, aged 23, now working as a window cleaner, is facing prison after pleading guilty at Manchester magistrates court to two counts of drink-driving and having no driving documents. Deputy District Judge Rod Ross bailed him for reports after warning him: “You are at serious risk of losing your liberty.”

Last February, Tandy smashed into a lamp-post in the city centre while twice over the legal limit. At a previous hearing, Mr Page said Tandy had tried to kill himself by deliberately crashing his girlfriend’s car. Tandy, it was said, was now in the process of suing soccer bad boy Joey Barton for allegedly stubbing a cigar in his eye during City’s Christmas party in 2004. Prosecutor Tess Kenyon said Tandy was stopped a second time in August for excess alcohol where he was one and half times above the limit. And last month he was arrested for driving while disqualified on Thatch Leach Lane, Whitefield. On that occasion, he told police: “I have been stupid. I have just come out of rehab.”

Very sad.
 
What a tit, deserves to get banged up for a while for all those offences.
 
hmm heard alot of stories from 'that' night when barton 'stubbed' that cigar out in his eye. Most people suggesting that tandy got what he had coming to him and that the cigar wasn't even lit.
 
Sad. If the lad isnt going to take responsibility for his own actions he will never sort his life out. Blaming someone else is always the easy option so you can keep acting like a prat. Barton is a muppet but its not his fault, if tandy had the ability or the will he would still be playing at a good level.
 
The lad needs to do some growing up, and start to take some responsibility for his own actions, rather than looking for people to blame, in my opinion. One misdemeanour is fair enough, we all make the odd mistake, but that little catalogue would find most behind bars, and unfortunately, it sounds like that is where he may end up. Him suing JB sounds a little ridiculous really. They actually sound like two peas in a pod.
 
It's a solicitors story. Aims at getting the judge to give sympathy as the main job is to keep him out of prison, don't take it prsonally.

shit solicitor then, he sounds like a shitbag that cant face up to his own guilt. drink drivers can blame no one but themselves, and also nowadays you dont want to go saying footballer to a magistrate. fukkim
 
Tandy drinks in my local,he is the thickest person you could ever meet,he openly brags how much he made for selling "his story" and is trying to get every penny he can while he can.he is a parasite.
 
That infamous night - it was the fancy dress Xmas party and our Mr Tandy was going round with his lighter burning holes in peoples costume so they lost the deposit - Bartons was dressed as Jimmy Saville and his costume costume had a 'frill' that was mostly crete paper in design and it went up like a fucking bonfire - fortunatly it was only a flash due the the minimal paper and went out again but he punched him.

Now the free hand (other had a drink in) also had his cigar in - now im not going to speculate where he 'stubbed' the cigar by accident or not - on JB knows this - but if Tandy had come at me with his lighter id of hit him too. As i imagine most people would.

The flip side of this is that JB got far more help after this matter than Tandy did - and the incident pretty much signalled then end of his city time. Now i agree the no-one forced him to start drinking, but City under previous regimes have a horrific HR record. I remember at the staff do a few years ago there was a fight and one guy got sacked and the other guy got a warning. About 4 months after the guy who got sacked walked into Eastlands with his lawyer and walked out with a 5 figure sum.
