IT takes a lot to surprise a footballer who’s turned out for 24 different clubs across ten tiers of the English football pyramid.

But for veteran striker Leroy Lita, there is one day he’ll never forget.

Lita kicked off his career on the books of Chelsea’s academy and has turned out for the likes of Reading, Middlesbrough and Swansea, as well as a swathe of non-league teams.

Now at seventh tier Barwell, aged 40, Lita has opened up on some of his most hilarious stories from his decades-long playing career.

And topping the list? Cilla Black giving him the surprise, surprise of his life by walking in on him naked.

Lita told The Times: “My first experience [at Reading] was walking in with the chairman and Cilla Black.

“He walked past me like he didn’t know who I was, and he had just paid £1million out of his own pocket for me.

“It wasn’t out of the club budget. He didn’t even know what I looked like and my agent had to tell him.

“I was just shocked that he was with Cilla Black. I used to watch Blind Date and Surprise Surprise, and was like, ‘That’s her, isn’t it?!’

“She used to always come to our games and come into the changing room.

“I remember playing Arsenal away, getting changed, I was naked. She was just there with a big smile.”

Talk about a Blind Date…

Cilla’s regular appearances at Reading come as no surprise, with then-owner John Madejski calling the former pop star and TV personality his “soulmate” after they enjoyed a long friendship.

The Blind Date host died in 2015 aged 72.

Lita – who scored six times in nine games for England‘s Under-21s – has racked up nearly 600 career games, scoring close to 200 goals in that spell.

However, his last stint in the English Football League came way back in the 2015-16 season, at League Two Yeovil.

Since then, Lita has enjoyed stints in Greece and Thailand, before returning home to embark on a journeyman non-league career.

Before joining Barwell last year, the striker turned out for Margate, Salisbury, Chelmsford City, Nuneaton Borough, Hednesford Town, Ilkestone Town and Coalville Town.

THIS is the dramatic moment a drunk Jet2 passenger was dragged off a flight heading to Turkey in front of shocked holiday goers.

Footage shows Lewis Howarth, 36, being hauled off the plane at Manchester Airport by cops after launching a foul-mouthed tirade at cabin crew.

The inebriated passenger had reportedly glugged half a bottle of whiskey and called one flight attendant a “d***head” when asked to fasten his seatbelt.

Cops quickly swooped in and were escorted toward unruly Howarth, who was described as “highly intoxicated” and had been swearing at other shocked holidaymakers.

When officers tried to coax Howarth off the flight, he quickly became belligerent.

“He started to resist and tried to fight or assault those escorting him,” prosecutor Saul Brody said.

“He was taken to the floor and handcuffed, and was described as thrashing his head towards the passengers and officers.

“He was restrained on the floor of the aisle, and once outside he continued shouting abuse towards the officers.”

Passengers applauded as the disruptive Howarth was booted off the Jet2 flight.

An officer told him: “You were bang out of order, there were so many kids on there.”

Howarth, from Bolton, then slurred back: “My kids are there… you are f****** wrong.

“Nah f*** off you little rats.

“Do you [really think] I’m not going to go on holiday?”

When cops told Howarth he had been placed under arrest, the passenger responded: “No I’m not, you little rat, you f****** d***heads, rat b******s.”

Prosecutors added that Howarth continued to resist arrest on the boarding bridge, kicking out at officers and even attempting to sink his teeth into them as he was escorted away.

Howarth, an installer who co-owns a building company, was jailed for 14 weeks following the incident.

He has previous convictions including affray, racially-aggravated harassment, assaulting a police officer and failing to comply with court orders.

Mitigating, barrister William Staunton said Howarth was ‘peer pressured’ into having a drink because he was nervous of flying.

But Recorder Geoffrey Wells, rubbished those claims.

“This behaviour was shocking,” Wells said.

“There is no excuse for being drunk when you go on an airplane.

“Your children saw you behaving like that. What kind of example is that? Wholly disgraceful.

“‘Peer pressure?’. What nonsense.”

The Sun Online has reached out to Jet2 for comment.
