OK so he got drunk on a plane, anyone know what his "unruly" behaviour consisted of? Was it a sacking offence?

[andy-hughes]

It appears that the club are sending out a 'zero tolerance' message for any future misbehavers they may employ, and that seems to be the reason for the sacking, rather than the perceived severity of the incident.

i think it is to Henson's credit that he has apologised to all concerned, and admitted his stupidity - hopefully this will pave the way to another club taking him on, because he does still have skills to contribute above ane beyond his off-field profile.

got drunk and threw ice cubes at other passengers. But it wasn't a first offence (there was some business on a train a few years ago) so you can see why clubs might not want to spend their time defending loud drunks.

A shame because he's got a lot of class on the field - none off it. If I were a potential employer I'd be looking at him and thinking "Here comes trouble".

[Grizelda43]

Misbehaving, or creating a problem on an aeroplane is serious and should be severely punished. Last time it was on a train. Henson's problem seems to be that he thinks his celebrity status will carry him through any bad behaviour. He should grow up

[bazwillrun]

He should take up football.

They "support" their players no matter what

Mark Grizelda as best answer.....

Grow up - he's past it as an intl rugby player anyway. The Welsh have better.

His career is, in effect over.
As pointed out by others in the game of rugby, who would be willing to take on a 30 year old who has played little rugby in the last 4 years and has more baggage than Posh Spice landing at Heathrow?
He's hardly ever endeared himself to his colleagues and has blown every chance he's ever been given.
He'll now have to carve out what 'career' he can in reality TV, though there's very little else left for him in that sphere as he's done most of them already.

He really has only got himself to blame. It's a real shame, as some of his flashes of brilliance showed he had the potential to become a Welsh legend, where as now he'll only be basking in infamy.

[askyourgran]

Serve him right, it's not the first time he's caused trouble. All his apologies have come to nothing, this time he's relied on his Celebrity too much.

Henson..............something to do with Muppet?

[owdhamer]

cardiff must set high standards no matter how big the name

[ELVIS68]

Apparently he's been advised to take up Church

He replied "Been there, done it and got the Tshirt"
