'John Wayne' Ranger Acts Like A Kid Once Again!
Nile Ranger says he "regrets" striking a gangster pose and being photographed with a replica gun. Great potential - but the kid has the brain of a pea! Newcastle United have made a statement after the photo was published in The Sun. The picture, which shows the London-born forward wearing a hooded top holding the silver handgun in front of his face, was taken at his home by his girlfriend. A Newcastle United spokeswoman said: "The club have spoken to Nile and can confirm that the item shown in the photograph is a replica firearm which it is not an offence to own. "Nile regrets posing for the photograph, which was taken by his girlfriend at home. "The club will be speaking with the player this week about the importance of being a positive role model to young fans." He served an 11-week sentence in a young offenders institution when he was 15 after he took part in a street robbery. Ranger once said: "Jail was pretty rough but it taught me a lot. The most important thing I learned is that I never want to go back."
