A Premier League footballer has sparked outrage among fans with an photograph of him wiping his bottom with a wad of £20 notes.



In the image, West Bromwich Albion defender Liam Ridgewell, 28, is pictured squatting over a toilet with his trousers around his knees, as £20 notes litter the bathroom floor.



Ridgewell, who is understood to be earning more than £20,000 per week, has said the photo was a 'joke' to wind up a friend.



But the photo was sent to The Sun by an unnamed West Brom fan and has since spread all over Twitter, sparking outrage among fans. Here is a flavour of what's being said.

Footballers are sadly overpaid and for what? Kicking a ball around.

I would burn the notes in full view of all cameras.

Some people have no respect for cash. Like it grows on trees.

Wasn't the most sensible thing the bloke ever did. However we now live in an age where no one is safe from the prying camera phone owner, willing to sell on any photo's they're able to get.
