Who is Andros Townsend and what happened to him on the Thai pitch?
You tapped it, so we're playing it. It's ZM's Brian Clint, the podcast.
This story is pretty crazy, but a former Tottenham player by the name of Andros Townsend, he used to play in like the English Premier League.
Oh
yeah. very good footballer, like footballer, very good footballer. They say at one point he was worth $50 million. Wow.
Like
he was very, very good. He's at the back end of his career. He's 35 and he plays currently.
He's ancient.
Well, he
is. He's at the back end. I know, but.
Back end of his career, his football career. And he plays for a Thai team. Okay. Called PT Prachop. And they've signed him on to play in the summer league over there. And there's a story about him being run over by this guy on a machine that was like pressing down the pitch during warm-up. So it's like a steamroller. Think of it like a mini steamroller.
Yeah.
Not
that many though.
Not that many.
Not like a full road work steamroller. But like a
decent size one.
Yeah.
And the players are on the field warming up and the guy driving the steamroller hasn't seen Andros and he's run over him. His whole leg has gone under the roller.
How did a mini‑steamroller nearly run over a $50 million footballer?
I'm not laughing at the guy getting run over, okay? I'm laughing at the situation and how panicked the person who did the running over must have been. The guy freaked out and kind of jumped off the
machine and kind of pulled it off of him so that his hips didn't go under?
So that he didn't have to roll it back off him. It was actually very smart from him because at first I was like, why are you out of the steamroller? But actually, he either rolls back over the leg that he's run over or... He
bails and kind of pulls it to the side.
No, the other option is you keep going forward and he runs over the rest of the guy.
Yeah, which should be disaster. So it kind of ran over his foot, his ankle and a bit of his knee and then kind of...
Why are they steamrolling the pitch while the players are on there? That seems like a health and safety issue.
Well, it definitely I don't think will happen again.
I've been to Thailand, actually. Health and safety is not high on the list of priorities, you know?
Yeah, well, it wasn't in this case.
No.
Imagine being the guy on the steamroller and they come out and they're like, do you know how much money we paid for him to play?
Oh, my God. It's like he's reversed. For this club? It's worse than reversing into one of the star players, Maserati's. You'd rather that. You can panel beat those. Yep. Those are insured. You
can't panel beat this guy's ankle. Anyway, he managed to avoid any injury,
which is
crazy when you see the video.
Yeah.
Because he fully runs over him. And the team won the game.
What's the most expensive thing you've ever run over?
Mmm. I ran into my auntie's car in the driveway once.
What’s the story behind the uninsured Audi crash and the cost of the damage?
That was pretty expensive.
Hitting cars is always up there. I remember getting hit by a guy, my car. He reversed quite quickly and he was in a brand new Audi and he hit me. It was 100% his fault and he got out and he was fine and straight away he was like, my fault, my bad, my bad. My bad. I was like, look at my Honda Accord. Look what you've done. And he goes, my bad, my bad, my bad.
My Honda Accord's never going to be the same.
I said to him, tell me you've got insurance because this is on you, buddy. And he was like, he goes, I don't have insurance.
What? Who's driving a brand new Audi and they don't have insurance?
But the reason I don't have insurance is because I don't need it. Like I don't have crashes very often. And I've figured out that if I do have a crash, it's cheaper for me to just pay for it than to pay for insurance my whole life. Yeah, crazy, eh?
That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.
I was like, so you're going to pay for it? He's like, I'm going to pay for
it. Just calm down,
man. In fact, take your car to my European panel beater and I'll just sort it out. I was like, well, good. It'll take a
while for them to get the Honda Accord parts in, but it should be fine. A friend of mine, I remember, hid her keys under another friend of ours' car
wheel. Yeah.
Like put them on the wheel and then they went out for a night out and people didn't communicate that and then the other friend ended up running over the keys.
