Former EFL star CANCELS wedding after he was 'drunk for two days' due to promotion celebrations

Australian international footballer Jackson Irvine has been forced to cancel his wedding after two boozy days spent celebrating promotion.

The former Burton Albion and Hull City star, 31, captained German side St Pauli back into the nation's top flight following their 3-1 win over VFL Osnabruck on Sunday.

He was due to tie the knot with fiancée Jemilla in Denmark on Tuesday, however the worse for wear footballer forgot to take his passport to the ceremony resulting in Danish officials refusing to continue with the ceremony.

Jemilla, a tattooist, took to Instagram to share what happened, with the couple forced to postpone the do until he felt better. 

'When you've been drunk for 2 days and forget to take your passport to your marriage appointment,' she posted alongside three clown emojis. 

'Let's try again tomorrow,' she added. '(Party tonight is still on).' 

Irvine has had a successful career in European football, having signed for Celtic from Melbourne Victory in 2010.

He made one appearance for the Scottish giants before representing Kilmarnock and Ross County. In 2016, Burton paid a club record fee of £330,000 to bring him to the midlands.

Irvine played for Hull for three seasons before returning north of the border with Hibs in 2021, and has represented Australia 66 times, contributing 11 goals for the Socceroos. 

As well as captaining his club in Germany, Irvine has also worn the armband for the Socceroos.
