What's the strangest thing that could happen to a professional footballer enjoying a poker game with pals? How about his hot tub catching fire!
That bizarre fate befell Manchester United defender Chris Smalling. Firefighters were called to 25-year-old's Altrincham home shortly after he tweeted a picture of his poker night.According to Greater Manchester Fire Service, “Police were in the area when they spotted smoke and reported a fire to our control centre. When we arrived it was quite a large fire involving a whirlpool bath and decking, which could have easily become something more serious.”“The police officers who were at the scene used a garden hose on the fire and when we arrived we extinguished it using a hose reel. The most likely cause was an accidental electrical fault.”
