Former Hammer jailed for 15 months

When he joined West Ham from Fiorentina in 2001, he became the club’s record signing at the time £5.5million.

Řepka was sent off on his West Ham debut for two bookable offences, missed a match through suspension, and was sent off again in the third match he played for the club. He went on to form a central defensive partnership with Christian Dailly before the club’s relegation to the second-tier. He gained a reputation for his disciplinary record, and received ten yellow cards that first season. In January 2006 he left West Ham to return the Czech Republic to be with his family

The full-back posted three pictures of his ex-wife on the internet, advertising her for escort services.

The sentence was later reduced to a community order.   He was also given two suspended sentences for drink driving.
