Aston Villa Ban Imp From Carling Cup Final

4th February 2010

One Lincoln City player will not be attending this year's Carling Cup Final after his parent club banned for disciplinary reasons.

Step forward Nathan Baker, on loan at Lincoln from Aston Villa, who will face Manchester United in final later this month.

Villa had issued their players with tickets for "friends and family" but Baker has been caught selling his tickets on Facebook at £200 each. This has led to Villa banning him from final and making Baker apologise for his actions. However, that appears to be the end of the matter.

An Aston Villa spokesperson said: "The club is saddened that Nathan has been so foolish. It shouldn't be forgotten, however, that Nathan is just 18 years old and he has a lot to learn. His actions were naive and he is extremely embarrassed and regretful at having let down himself, the club and Aston Villa fans."
