Fly Tipping Freddie. A Pikey Tale.

Freddie Eastwood. What a load of rubbish.

So you are having a clean-out, you’ve got a lot of garbage that needs dumping, what do you do?

• A: Sling it all in the back of a car and take it to the local government dump?
• B: Hire a professional company to come and collect it?
• C: Hire a skip and fill it up?
• D: Pay a pikey mate 120 quid to dump your stuff in a country lane? 

If you are a Coventry City striker who is a real pikey (no s**t), then you go with option D. Coventry City’s pikey footballer, Freddie Eastwood, has been fined after admitting he paid someone to dump his garbage in a country lane. In the UK, this is known as ‘fly tipping’ and is met with some hefty financial punishments. 

Gypsy Eastwood was easily identified as the owner of the garbage as his haul of crap included bank statements and letters with his name on them. Freddie is a smart one, no?

Bigus, why do you keep calling Eastwood a pikey and a gypsy. Surely you can’t be a footballer AND be a gypsy?

You sure can if you are fly tipping Freddie. Eastwood is a member of the Romani people and won an appeal to keep his house on a travellers site in Basildon in 2006.

The forward made his name at Southend United where he scored 49 goals. A big money move to Wolves beckoned but he only managed 3 goals in 31 appearances before being sold to Coventry for 1.2 million last year. Eastwood has found the net 4 times in 48 games.

Maybe he was too busy refereeing boxing matches and fixing caravans to practice shooting?

Eastwood’s trash mishap cost him 1600 quid in the form of a 750 pound fine and 850 in court costs.
