"Jermaine Pennant was contacted by his former club Real Zaragoza recently after he abandoned a Porsche at the railway station in the Spanish city five months ago – and promptly forgot that he owned it.
According to an article published in the Spanish newspaper Marca, Pennant said that he did not remember having owned the car when Real contacted him. The club then opened the car, discovering the keys on the seat within.
The car had a customised licence plate with the registration "P33NNT". The former Arsenal and Liverpool star signed for Zaragoza on a free transfer in the summer of 2009 but he struggled to make an impact with the La Liga side. During his spell in Spain he infuriated coach Jose Aurelio Gay after turning up late for training three times in the space of two weeks.
Last August, he signed for Stoke City on a four-month loan deal, which was then made permanent in December, to the delight of the player. "The atmosphere around the place is brilliant, so I am looking forward to the fact that I am here at Stoke now for the long term and back in the best league in the world."
That just about sums up the player's of today, rich and thick.
On a lighter note, don't know which is more shocking, the fact that Pennant 'forgot' he had the car or the fact he is still making a living as a professional footballer.
sums up the over paid footballers nowadays. half of them have limited tal4ent to boot. ie the last world cup.o were they tired.hmm,try standing at a bus stop at 6.30am each morning to work for peanuts and struggle away! pri''s havent a clue
