Ex-Arsenal star sentenced last month for part in £600k drug smuggling plot signs for new team

A former Arsenal academy star has already been picked up by a new team - just a month after he was handed a four-year prison sentence for his role in a drug smuggle plot. The player came through the ranks at the north London club, before going on loan at a number of Football League sides such as Blackpool, Doncaster Rovers, and Cardiff before leaving the Gunners. He had stints at a number of clubs in England, Scotland and even India and Thailand, before joining Greenock Morton, where he was later sacked after his arrest back in September last year. The player in question, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, had been arrested after an estimated £600,000 worth of cannabis was seized while being brought through Stansted Airport by two women, one of whom was his girlfriend. Though Emmanuel-Thomas initially claimed to be innocent, he eventually changed his plea to guilty at a hearing in May at Chelmsford Crown Court. He then received a four-year prison sentence, but was released on parole having already served 10 months at HMP Chelmsford, and he has now already found himself a new club. Emmanuel-Thomas has been snapped up by National League South side AFC Totton, and the 34-year-old's playing career is now set to resume. 'We are absolutely delighted to welcome Jay Emmanuel-Thomas to the club,' Totton revealed in a statement. 'Jay joins us with a wealth of experience in the Championship and we're sure his goals will lead to a successful season here on the South Coast!' During the case, the prosecutor - David Josse KC - told the court that the interception of the two women carrying the drugs had taken place at the airport. He added that it the became 'apparent' that Emmanuel-Thomas has been involved in 'their recruitment' to travel to Thailand. Judge Alexander Mills said: 'It is through your own actions you will no longer be known as a professional footballer. 'You will be known as a criminal. A professional footballer who threw it all away.' Emmanuel-Thomas' lawyer Alex rose, said: 'The financial gain in this case for Mr Emmanuel-Thomas was £5,000.' He added that the former Arsenal academy star, who played five times for the first team, had made a 'catastrophic error of judgement', following a period of 'significant financial hard times' that had led him to 'succumbing to temptation'. Emmanuel-Thomas wrote in a letter read out in the court: 'This past year has been the most harmful and eye-opening of my life. At times it has been unbearable.' He also noted that he 'completely regrets but takes full responsibility for' his actions.

French FA calls for online abuse investigation after Women's Euro exit

GENEVA, July 23 (Reuters) - French football's governing body has called for an investigation into hateful comments made online following the national team's exit from the Women's Euros after a penalty shootout loss to Germany in the quarter-finals. "The French Football Federation strongly condemns the hateful remarks made about certain players of the French team. Nothing can justify such manifestations of hatred," the governing body said in a statement on Wednesday. "The FFF expresses its full support to all the players concerned and re-asserts its commitment to the values of respect and solidarity, which are the basis of our sport. "The FFF has decided to immediately contact the National Center Against Online Hatred to allow for the opening of an investigation aimed at sanctioning criminal behaviour." The FFF's call for action comes in the wake of England defender Jess Carter's withdrawal from social media over racial abuse she received online. France goalkeeper Pauline Peyeaud-Magnin posted about the abuse received by her teammates on Instagram. "There's one thing even harder to accept than defeat: hatred," she wrote. "We can be frustrated, we can be sad, we can even be angry. But hatred should never, ever have a place in this sport. "Whether it's against a player on our team or an opponent: behind every jersey, there's a person ... thank you to those who continue to support us with kindness. We will rise again. Stronger. More united."

What did we learn from Martin's first match in charge?

A new era began at Ibrox on Tuesday night, Rangers supporters along with the club's new owners getting the first glimpse of Russell Martin's team in competitive summer signings were handed their debuts from the start - Max Aarons in an unfamiliar left-back role, on-loan Wolves centre-back Nasser Djiga partnering John Souttar, and Joe Rothwell sitting at the base of said beforehand he expected to learn how far the squad had come in the four weeks he's had to work with them and, more importantly, how much they still had to question, despite a positive outcome in the Champions League qualifier first leg, significant improvement will be required to make this Rangers team the finished new manager demands a style of football based on keeping possession but as we saw with his Southampton team at the start of last season in the Premier League, that can cause some nervy moments at the in particular looked uncomfortable at times trying to play out and only a mixture of good goalkeeping and poor finishing kept Rangers' clean sheet said, there was cause for positivity and when Rangers did manage to play round the Panathinaikos press, they looked impressive, not least when another debutant, Djeidi Gassama, came off the bench to finish a lightning break with the second fans would have wanted at least one more to make the second leg more comfortable, but perhaps that would have been greedy and certainly an unfair reflection of a game in which the Greeks looked menacing, at least until they went down to 10 tie is far from over and Martin will look to use the next seven days to drill into the players further what he is looking for from them, with a friendly against Middlesbrough on Saturday to help bed in how he wants his side to the performances of Jack Butland, John Souttar, Rothwell and Nico Raskin as well as the fabulous goals from Findlay Curtis and Gassama have helped put Rangers in a promising position as they seek to advance in the competition.
