Mischievous defender lays it on thick and claims his hamstring's gone after slipping while play-acting moves for a TV
Here, the Manchester City and England defender fools the Eastlands club's PR staff into believing he has been injured while working with them on a TV ad.
After slipping while performing some turn-and-run type of move in rehearsal, Richards is put up to the stunt by a worker from the club's online TV channel CityTV and gleefully agrees.
Frowning, he hobbles into an office and ruefully informs City marketing manager Jane Farquhar and photographer Sharon Latham that he suspects the slip has knacked his hamstring.
The two women gasp and stare in horror at the news, while Richards keeps a straight face.
He even gestures moodily for the cameras to be turned off, which he think is a particularly convincing touch...
...but then he cracks and teases them for falling for his fibs, joking that they feared they were both going to get the sack.
