Claire Rowlands, the mother of Manchester City and England star Phil Foden, found herself in the midst of controversy following a night out in Towyn, North Wales.
The incident, which occurred on September 9, escalated quickly leading to her arrest. This development comes as a stark contrast to the celebratory mood following her son's performance in a Euro 2024 qualifier.

FOOTBALL Real Madrid eclipses Manchester City to regain status as richest club
Madrid generated a record revenue of 831m euros (Ksh 144.5 billion) to top their Money League study from the 2022-23 season.
This seemingly trivial action triggered a series of events that eventually led to her ejection from the club and subsequent police intervention.
Bodycam footage from the responding officers vividly captured the ensuing tussle before Rowlands' arrest. Despite attempts to evade, Rowlands, 44, and her group were eventually subdued and detained as reported by Daily Star.

Court Appearance and Aftermath
The incident moved to Llandudno magistrates' court, where a contrasting image of Rowlands emerged. She presented a calm demeanour in court, markedly different from the night of her arrest.

Although cleared of assault, she was fined for her conduct. Rowlands' candid confession in court revealed her rare indulgence in alcohol: "I do not drink often but when I do, I make up for time. I am like an animal."
CCTV footage from Bentley's displayed the initial hat incident, showing Rowlands knocking off and then attempting to replace Shortman's cap, an act she described as "just a bit of fun."
Her interaction with the police, however, was less light-hearted, as she admitted to her aggressive behaviour: "I kicked off with the police officers. I was a bit of a b****.”
