Lawrie Sanchez: ‘It’s all about being naked somewhere along the line’

Former Wimbledon F.C player Lawrie Sanchez talks initiations in the ‘crazy gang’ era as new Arsenal star Granit Xhaka’s cringe worthy singing video emerges. The new Arsenal star's debut could not have gone much worse as he sang in front of whole squad.

Lawrie spoke to 5 live Drive about initiations during his time at Wimbledon F.C said: “They used to set up one of the new initiatives, take his clothes and leave him stark naked on Wimbledon common to run past all the people walking their dogs. Imagine that in the era of social media!”

Sanchez, however, seemed to think Xhaka got away lightly: “Standing on top of the table singing a song is a standard one, in our day it was a little more hardcore. For some reason with male sportsmen it’s all about being naked somewhere along the line.”
