Daniel Sturridge’s unlucci break
Back in May, we told you about Daniel Sturridge’s dispute over a lapdog called Lucci (not sure how you pronounce that name – both options are awful).
The 31-year-old offered a £26,000 reward after the Pomeranian was stolen in a burglary on his house in LA two years ago. He wrote on Twitter: “Yo, somebody please find my dog. I will pay anything I’m dead serious, I want my dog back.”
But when a local rapper named Killa Fame – real name Foster Washington – found and returned Lucci, Sturridge failed to cough up.
Now, after a year-long legal battle, a Los Angeles court has ordered the striker to pay.
Killa Fame welcomed the decision, but he might want to hold back on the celebrations for now – Sturridge failed to answer the case in court, and now resides in western Australia. Not sure he’s going to pay.
