Sacked but still around

SACKED star Cristian Montano is still causing Athletic a problem - by appearing on the club’s 2014 calendar.
The winger had his contract terminated last week after an investigation into spot-fixing allegations. Montano is appealing the club’s decision.
But while the Colombian has had his image removed from the club shop window, advance print deadlines meant he remained the face of May 2014.
Now the club has come up with a plan to resolve the problem: a sticker to cover the picture.
“The club is having a suitable design worked up and buyers will be able to use it or not.
The calendar costs £4.99 from the club shop
