Blair Turgott pictured in action for Leyton Orient in 2015A former Premier League footballer gambled £16,000 at a Mayfair casino using a stolen card, a court has heard. Prosecutor Kaj Scarsbrook said the card used by Turgott, who is from Bromley, had earlier been stolen from Peter Dixon by a fraudster posing as a bank employee. Shortly after, a man in his 20s knocked on his door and Mr Dixon handed over his card. But Mr Dixon went to his branch the following Monday after his wife became suspicious. "Their bank told them, perhaps unsurprisingly, this man had absolutely nothing to do with them and had, effectively, stolen the card," the prosecutor said.
