Birmingham City striker Matt Derbyshire’s partner Melissa O’Higgins-Norman is a spirited sort.

Not only is Mel walking the Great Wall of China for charity this summer, but she was recently overheard at St Andrew’s asking stewards to remove two season ticket holders who were slagging off her bloke from the stands!

Aston Villa’s young Barry Bannan – last heard of ordering a Range Rover via phone in the back of a taxi on his 17th birthday, despite not yet having passed his test – is flashing his wallet once again.

The Scotland midfielder has just spanked £800,000 on a new house in Sutton Coldfield, beating Wolves defender Christophe Berra in the process.

Bannan then spent much of the international break telling fellow Scottish international Berra exactly how he was planning to redecorate.
