Three professional footballers who admitted taking part in a drink-fuelled brawl at a nightclub last October have been jailed.
Wales international David Partridge, 27, and Bristol City team mates, Scott Brown, 21, Bradley Orr, 23, and Steve Brooker, 25 were charged with affray.
On Friday at Bristol Crown Court, Orr and Brooker were jailed for 28 days, Patridge was sent down for two months.
He was also ordered to pay £1,000 compensation to a doorman.
City player Scott Brown was given 120 hours' community service for his lesser part in the brawl.
The court heard the quartet were on an evening out when violence erupted as Partridge was ejected from the Romeo Browns nightspot in Bristol city centre.
Prosecutor Robert Davies told the court Partridge "lost control" and charged at the club's doormen.
He became involved in a fight with the bouncers and his teammates then became involved.
A spokesman for Bristol City FC said the club would issue a statement on its website but would make no further comment.
I assume this means its happenign straight away - no Brooker and Orr is good for us tomorrow, especially with no Cottrell as well. Think Orr may have been banned anyway for his sending off.
City fans I know always talked about the drinking culture that was around. May have changed under Johnson now.
