For a guy who racked up 306 appearances in the world’s strongest league and scored 106 goals, this is not the advert he needed. Still, former Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge has found himself on the pages of football press but for the wrong reasons. A former England international (26 appearances, 8 goals) has somehow managed to get attention because of his dog and a local musician. Someone please help. Stolen from West Hollywood last night at 11:30pm. A sizeable reward will be paid.

Former Liverpool striker took the social media to plea for anybody who can found his dog, promising a reward. A local musician whose rapper name is ‘Killa Fame’, posted a tweet with a series of photos asking if he’d found the beloved pet. Sturridge later posted a ‘thank you message’, admitting he was ‘absolutely delighted’ that his dog had been found and thanked everyone on social media for spreading the word.

The footballer promised a reward of 3.3 million Ksh to whoever found the pet and Killa Fame stated in his lawsuit that Sturridge still owed him the reward money. On Christmas Eve this year, a Los Angeles court ordered Sturridge to pay Washington 4.5 million Ksh after he did not honor the reward. Court documents show that a default judgment was given, meaning Sturridge did not answer to the complaint.Hendo reveals the Reds are aiming for a quadrupleAnd now, the former Chelsea striker decided to speak and ’clear the air’, claiming that the did gave the reward to ’somebody’ and has the evidence. „Just to let you know the truth on xmas! I met a young boy who found my dog and paid him a reward which he was delighted with as was I to get my dog back because he was stolen. I took photos with him and we have videos and audio of everything that happened when Lucci was returned. On Christmas Day to have to relive the events of a robbery is shameful. Other people are trying to benefit for their own personal gain. Thank you to the young boy once again. This was 2 1/2 years ago and a crazy 24hrs. I’m very grateful lucci is back with our family. Love to all“ wrote Sturrage on Twitter.
