Arsene Wenger didn't take kindly to the antics of Ray Parlou

From cobra-bombs to over-the-top cocktails, former Arsenal lad Ray Parlour isn't shy of expressing his love for downing a jar of booze.

One incident, when Parlour was out with England team-mate Frank Lampard, saw him smash his head off the bar, resulting in him having to get eight stitches.

Iconic Gunners boss Arsene Wenger wasn't too pleased with his antics. And the Frenchman even went as far as to leave the stalwart out of their match-day squad for the next game.

Speaking to LuckyBlock.com, Parlour explained: "He (Wenger) wasn’t the sort of man to fall out with really. He’d leave you out, though. I remember I got left out once because I think I went over the top a little bit in the week.

"I remember I headbutted a bar, believe it or not. I got tangled up in the stool, somehow headbutted the bar and he found out about it. He left me out for a game or so but he was such a nice man and he would always try to do the best for you.

"You’d run through a brick wall for him but I could argue I’d do it for any manager because I wanted Arsenal to be the best team they could be and I was an Arsenal fan."
