Glory duo arrested in Adelaide

Glory striker faces heat after arrest

UPDATE: Perth Glory striker Andy Keogh and defender Josh Risdon face disciplinary action after being arrested following Sunday's draw 1-1 with Adelaide United.

Keogh was allegedly stopped by police for disorderly conduct outside a licensed premises in Adelaide's Currie Street. He was subsequently fined and released.

South Australia police say they then had to return to the premises soon after, where Keogh was again involved in an incident and this time he was arrested.

Police say Risdon was told to move on but refused to follow instructions and so was also arrested.

Both men will appear in Adelaide Magistrates Court on March 19.

Glory chief executive Jason Brewer said the club was assessing what action to take.

“We do not condone any kind of behaviour which breaches the club’s protocol and the National Code of Conduct. The players have apologised to the playing group and in due course will be making an apology to our fan base for their indiscretion,” he said.

“The players admit the situation has embarrassed them, their teammates and our fans and they are accepting full responsibility for their poor behaviour.

“We will continue to educate and support our players to ensure their judgments reflect the ethos and values of Perth Glory FC."

Keogh has been outstanding for Perth this season, helping the Glory rise to the top of the A-League table, while Risdon has nailed down his place at right-back over the past couple of seasons.
