Jonjo Shelvey lifts the lid on being called a 'bald racist c**t' on the pitch, spotting a bullet hole in the local pub TV and why 'it's the ban that kills you'

It was not at St James' Park, Newcastle, on Sunday that Jonjo Shelvey realised he had a problem.

That reality dawned eight months earlier in the away dressing room at Nottingham Forest's City Ground.

Sent off for kicking out at an opponent on the floor, Shelvey took his mobile phone out before he had even taken his boots off.

'I text my agent saying I needed to sort this out,' Shelvey told Sportsmail.
