This is the moment Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden‘s mother is kicked out of a nightclub and put in handcuffs after knocking a hat from a fellow partygoer’s head.

Claire Rowlands, 44, was put in cuffs after she was thrown out of Sunny’s bar in Towyn, Wales on September 9, hours after her son came off the bench to play for England in a Euro 2024 qualifier.

The 52-second clip, shown in court, shows Claire aggressively confronting police officers who were called to the scene.

Challenging the officers, Ms Rowlands says: ‘Go on then, what’ve I done? Don’t come into my face unless you’ve got evidence.’

Another friend says: ‘No, she’s coming home with me.’

As an unseen person, believed to be a police constable, says they ‘need a word with (her)’, she says: ‘No, no. What have I done?’ as her friends tell the police to ‘get off her’.

Ms Rowlands was cleared of assault and but fined for her behaviour after she admitted to police: ‘I do not drink often but when I do, I make up for time. I am like an animal.’

The footballer’s mum had been enjoying a night out with friends and ended up downing shots of vodka and tequila before showing off her ‘party trick’ of flicking a man’s hat off, Llandudno magistrates’ court was told. 

She had been invited to a caravan with two of her friends as respite from caring for her youngest son, who is disabled and requires 24-hour care.

She told the court: ‘The plan was just to go out, have a laugh, let our hair down and enjoy ourselves. We went to the caravan, had a few cans, washed our hair and got all dressed up.’

The group went to a bar on the caravan site, and ‘had some fun, doing some karaoke and getting all the old people dancing to Motown’

The group later went to Sunny’s in town, where Rowlands said she drank shots of Tequila and Vodka before she was asked to leave by bouncers who accused her of assaulting someone.

Magistrates were shown CCTV footage from the club which showed Rowlands knocking a baseball cap off Paul Shortman’s head and then trying to put it back on him. 

Rowlands told the court she was just having a ‘bit of fun’ and did not intend to hurt the man when she tried to put his cap back on. 

She said: ‘I was drunk. It was just a bit of fun, a bit of ­banter. I just could not believe it, that I could get into trouble for knocking someone’s cap off. It’s my party trick, knocking someone’s cap off and putting it back on.

‘I did not mean him any harm or to hurt him and you can see that on the video. It was just a bit of banter which has been taken the wrong way.’

The stay at home mother was later removed from the bar and then told police to ‘f*** off’ which led to her spending a night in the cells, the court heard.

The Sun reports PC Stephen Gunning telling the court that Ms Rowlands had been ‘stumbling with her speech slurred and her eyes glazed’.

Chairman of the magistrates Duncan Campbell told the court: ‘It is clear at the time that you were drunk, fooling around having fun.

‘It is for the prosecution to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and that you intended to use force.

‘It is telling that Mr Shortman has not attended and that your actions were not consensual. Therefore we find you not guilty.’

Rowlands, of Prestbury, Cheshire, was cleared of assault but pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to being drunk and disorderly.

She was fined £100, with £85 costs and a £40 surcharge, which she will have to pay within 90 days.
