Repka banged up (again)

Our old friend Tomas Repka is in more trouble with the law. He's just been jailed for nine months for drink driving. This is in addition to an earlier sentence of 15 months for fraud, when bouncing Czech Tomas sold a woman a car he didn't own, as you do. This follows last year's spell of six months community service for offering online sexual services in the name of his former girlfriend. Strange, as he was such a law-abiding character on the pitch. The great Ludek Miklosko (who doesn't come from near Moscow) once told me that he and his wife didn't associate socially with fellow Czech Tomas. I think we can now understand why.

And I always thought Tomas Repka would become a Doctor of Philosophy after hanging up his boots. But no, in the Czech Republic the former Hammer has been sentenced to six months in jail for posting fake escort adverts in the name of his former wife Vlad'ka Erbova. He is now appealing. 

Repka's current partner, TV star Katerina Kristelova was fined £1750 for her role in the crime. Tomas was in trouble in 2015 for not paying full child maintenance and was sentenced to 180 hours of community service. He's also been fined for drink-driving. Strange, as he seemed such a level-headed player.

Though thinking of Repka does remind me that had Tomas not returned to Sparta Prague and been replaced by Lionel Scaloni, West Ham might have won the 2006 FA Cup. Repka would surely have put both ball and man into touch rather than let Steven Gerard get anywhere near it.

It's not been a good week for ex-West Ham stars. I just hope that Christian Dailly is leading a respectable life so that he can remain the love of my life.
