Hannover 96 Suspend Three Youth Team Players For Planning to Rob a Casino

Hannover 96 have had to take the remarkable step of suspending three youth players over their plans to rob a casino.

According to German newspaper Bild, the three players, who remain unnamed, confessed their plans to police at some point on Tuesday, and have been banned by the club.

And website ESPNFC even go as far as reporting that the group wore balaclavas and were on their way to carry out their heist in a car with altered number plates when they backed out at the last moment and decided to come clean.

Apparently, the police spotted the dodgy plates and stopped the lads after they’d decided against carrying out the robbery, and they quickly spilled the beans.

Forget making Jamie Vardy’s story into a film, a Hollywood script writer should be buying the rights to this yarn for the movie version of Grand Theft Auto – or Ocean’s 96.

Hannover currently find themselves rock-bottom of the Bundesliga, after gathering just 14 points from their opening 20 matches.

They could certainly do with stealing a few points in the coming weeks, but we have no idea why the players would take such a gamble (sorry).
