Craig 6316 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Well this story's taken a bit of a twist - sounds like someone went to teach Callum a lesson: West Ham United footballer Calum Davenport has been charged with assault following an incident in which he was stabbed in both legs in Bedfordshire. The former Coventry and Spurs star was stabbed in the legs in an incident at his mother's home in Kempston in September this year. The 26-year-old spent six days in intensive care in Bedford Hospital following the incident. He has been charged with assault causing actual bodily harm on a woman.

Billy Castell 0 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I used to live in Kempston, and my dad worked at the local school. There are some parts round the Bedford area that can be a bit iffy, but Kempston tended to be OK. Apart from the Ampthill Road area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For legal reasons I am unable to discuss the matter further at this time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Well, his sister went to court to stand by her boyfriend so it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest that out of spite she's claiming Davenport slapped her one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
