Foden's mother fined for assault as she flicked a man's cap off his head

Man City midfielder Phil Foden's mother was arrested for assault over a booze fueled night out where she flicked a man's cap off his head.

Claire Rowlands, 44, became furious after being kicked out of Sunny’s sports bar in Towyn, north Wales, on September 9 last year, hours after her England star son came off the bench in a Euro 2024 qualifier match against Ukraine, The Sun reported.

She had been enjoying a night out with friends and ended up downing shots of vodka and tequila before showing off her 'party trick' of flicking a man's hat off, Llandudno magistrates' court was told.

The stay at home mother was later removed from the bar and then told police to 'f*** off' which led to her spending a night in the cells, the court heard.

Rowlands was cleared of assault and but fined for her behaviour after she admitted to police: 'I do not drink often but when I do, I make up for time. I am like an animal.'

The court heard Rowlands had been invited to a caravan with two of her friends as respite from caring for her youngest son, who is disabled and requires 24-hour care.

Rowlands told the court: 'The plan was just to go out, have a laugh, let our hair down and enjoy ourselves. We went to the caravan, had a few cans, washed our hair and got all dressed up.'

The group went to a bar on the caravan site, and 'had some fun, doing some karaoke and getting all the old people dancing to Motown'

The group later went to Sunny’s in town, where Rowlands said she drank shots of Tequila and Vodka before she was asked to leave by bouncers who accused her of assaulting someone.

Magistrates were shown CCTV footage from the club which showed Rowlands knocking a baseball cap off a Paul Shortman's head and then trying to put it back on him.
