Watford defender Adrian Mariappa is quite the pal to have when you're in trouble, as Troy Deeney found out when he went to prison.
In 2012, the Hornets forward was handed a jail sentence of 10 months for kicking a man in the head during a fight, but was fortunate to only serve less than three due to being remorseful.
And while he was locked up, it took a loan from his pal to ensure that his family were okay during his absence.
Mariappa had an extensive chat with Watford's official website recently, revealing that he lent Deeney the sum of £10,000 to see to it that his friend's family weren't left out in the cold.
