When a former Northampton Town footballer (nickname – The Cobblers) is found guilty of indecent exposure, one might have hoped for an inspired headline. Sadly, this effort by the Northampton Chronicle & Echo fails to rise to the occasion.
And one imagines that it was only for reasons of good taste and decency that the paper declined to explain the reference to a “cuddly toy”. Shame.
