Reports suggesting Everton midfielder Tim Cahill was drunk and disorderly in a London bar last week have been vehemently denied by Football Federation Australia.

It had been claimed that Cahill was involved in a drunken confrontation with bar and security staff at a Kings Cross venue last Friday morning.

However, FFA chief Ben Buckley was quoted in the Daily Telegraph as saying. "We've spoken to the player concerned, we've spoken to his team-mates that were with him at the time, we've spoken to the venue management and we certainly believe that Tim hasn't done anything wrong.

"Let me just say, we've had no complaint from the venue management, we've had no complaint from any individual and no complaint from the police."

Australia became one of the first teams to qualify for next summer's World Cup finals in South Africa when they drew 0-0 with Qatar earlier this month.
