IT LOOKS LIKE the “locker room banter” may have gone a step too far at Stoke.
On Sunday, departing striker Michael Owen found his Mercedes C63 covered in eggs and flour.
This afternoon, Kenwyne Jones entered the dressing room to discover a pig’s head where his training gear would usually be.
Unconfirmed reports on Twitter are suggesting that Ireland international Glenn Whelan is the culprit while others claim that Jones was so incensed by the practical joke that he smashed up the midfielder’s car as revenge.
The club has since released a statement. It reads: “The Club takes seriously reports of an incident at our Training Ground this afternoon.
“A full internal investigation will be carried out and those responsible for any unacceptable behaviour will be dealt with in accordance with the Club’s disciplinary procedures.”
Earlier, Jones’ girlfriend Kissa Abdullah had tweeted:

It’s not like they force fed him pig meat. Smashing a car up is a calm moderate reaction to somebody hanging a lump of meat in the changing room. it appears that yet again somebody is using religion to justify an outrageous act.
I’m shocked that an overrated, Irish midfielder would be the culprit behind a prank like this. Who does Glenn Whelan think he is? Stephen Hunt?
No harm done. Carry on
Must be a secret Shamrock Rovers fan.
Cant even have a bit a fun now but the racist band wagon is upon you. They are in England and should conform to English humour.
Childish & wrong…MUPPETS
Shite footballer with shite humour
Idiots
He is a Rastafarian, I don’t think they eat pork. A stupid thing to do then. But vandalising a car in retaliation is also a stupid thing to do.
Stoke, not just ugly on the outside.
LMAO
That is a f*ckin funny joke.
Should have stuck the head on Whelan
He should keep the feet and see if he can get them transplanted instead of his own two maybe he’d pass the ball better with pigs feet.
Bahaha wanna be wag
Where is the six comments??
Pig heads were disgusting and
bloody
