Aston Villa signing Zat Knight yesterday protested his innocence after he was arrested on Wednesday, only hours before joining Villa.
"I have done nothing wrong," insisted Knight. "The police said they had to bring me to a station and they were just doing their job, so I cooperated with them." He insisted O'Neill had backed him over the incident. "I have spoken to Martin O'Neill about it and he gave me his full support. He realises I have done nothing wrong."
