Troy Deeney, the former Forest Green Rovers player who scored 140 goals in 419 games for Watford, has come clean about his extravagant spending spree in Las Vegas. The Birmingham-born striker, who captained Watford and played a crucial role in their promotions in 2015 and 2021, spilled the details of his wild three-day partying extravaganza on the podcast ‘Undr the Cosh’.
Deeney admitted that he jetted off to Sin City to celebrate Watford’s promotion in 2015, determined to fulfill a promise he had made. “I blew over 300,000 euros in just three days in Vegas. I wish I could say I lost it all gambling, but that wasn’t the case,” he confessed.
The 36-year-old footballer-turned-pundit went on to provide a breakdown of how he splurged the money during his Vegas escapade. “I spent 96,000 euros on a pool party, another 96,000 at the MGM in the morning, and a further 72,000 at night,” Deeney revealed.
But it wasn’t just about the extravagant parties for Deeney. He also shared some interesting encounters during his time in Vegas. “There were five soccer players having a bachelor party at the same time, and they were sitting at the next table. They even took us to a bachelorette party with 15 Canadian Victoria’s Secret models,” Deeney disclosed.
“One of the girls told me they were Victoria’s Secret models, and I thought, ‘Thank you, Jesus! I’m in heaven now.’ I didn’t even have to make a move; I was so drunk they had to put me in a cab,” he reminisced.
Reflecting on his lavish spending spree, Deeney admitted that it was all fueled by ego. “I was a complete jerk at the highest level, and now I could really use that 300,000 euros,” he confessed. Throughout his career, Deeney played for Chelmsley Town, Walsall, Watford, Birmingham City, and Forest Green Rovers.
In conclusion, Troy Deeney’s Las Vegas adventure was a whirlwind of excess and indulgence. From pool parties to encounters with Victoria’s Secret models, Deeney certainly made the most of his celebration. Now, with hindsight, he realizes the value of that money and how it could have been put to better use.
