National police commissioner Bheki Cele said the Sunday Mirror's Simon Wright had been arrested.

The Sunday Mirror confirmed Mr Wright had been arrested but said any suggestion by police that the trespass was orchestrated was "entirely false".

Pavlos Joseph, 32, from London, is accused of entering England's dressing room after the Algeria match.

Pavlova isn't a hack, he's a mortgage adviser. Or so he claims.

That's feasible, he could in reality be a journalist I suppose.
 
It is indeed horribly written and seems to have been edited twice since I first linked it. It seems only the mortgage adviser entered the changing room, but they since discovered the journalist Simon Wright who would appear to have instigated the whole thing and got the mortgage adviser to enter the changing rooms, probably for a large sum of money.
 
Pavlos has been let off

"Charges against the England fan who walked into the players' dressing room after the World Cup match against Algeria have been dropped.

Cape Town Magistrates' Court heard that Pavlos Joseph, 32, from Crystal Palace, south London, paid a 750 rand (£65) admission of guilt fine on Tuesday.

He was accused of trespassing, but said he was only looking for a toilet"

looks like the hack from the rag is going to get the brunt of it. a terrible shame. lol
