• Former Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend nearly got in trouble with his girlfriend because of Football Manager
• Townsend's girlfriend, Hazel O'Sullivan, found a Twitter post that said he was fined for failing to report to the training ground
• The former Tottenham Hotspur star recently moved to Turkish club Antalyaspor after leaving Luton Town

Former Premier League star Andros Townsend nearly got in hot water with his girlfriend, who suspected he was cheating after seeing a Football Manager Tweet.

The incident happened nearly 10 years ago when he was still a Tottenham Hotspur winger.

When he first started playing in the Premier League, Townsend was highly rated, but he failed to live up to those lofty expectations.

The 33-year-old completed his transfer to Turkish club Antalyaspor, which had their registration embargo lifted.

The former England international made 291 Premier League appearances and registered 26 goals and 32 assists, per Transfermarkt.

Townsend's Football Manager predicament

Nine years ago, Townsend's girlfriend, Hazel O'Sullivan, discovered a screenshot about Football Manager on Twitter that her partner was fined for "failing to report to the training ground for a training session."

O'Sullivan was concerned about Townsend's whereabouts if he wasn't at home or training. She thought the screenshot was real.

The veteran winger recently recalled the ordeal.

"I get a text from her one day and I receive a screenshot from Twitter. As you do, she was searching my name on Twitter and a fine came up – Andros Townsend accepts his fine for reporting late to training," he said via Sportbible. "So her mind is going off; if he wasn't at training and he wasn't at home then where was he? It could have been a real sticky one!"

Townsend said the situation was resolved after she realized it was a screengrab.

"But she's messaged me and it turns out the screen grab is from the popular video game Football Manager."

The two are now husband and wife and have two children together.
