He's arguably one of England's greatest full backs, but there was no defending Kyle Walker's antics during a night out in Manchester on Saturday.
Better used to catching wingers offside, Walker found himself caught short after leaving a busy cocktail bar with two friends.
But instead of making his way back inside to the sanctuary of the men's room, the Manchester City and England right back, 34, relieved himself against the nearest wall.
And he appeared to be in good company, with a friend following suit as they left the Dear Sailor bar shortly after 11:30pm, hours after Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Premier League rivals Newcastle United at St. James' Park.
Manchester City Council's Public Spaces Protection Order 2023 prohibits urinating in public in a restricted area, with culprits expected to be fined as much as £150 if caught.

Walker, who earns an average £160,000 per week with Pep Guardiola's high-flying side, appeared nonplussed as he emptied his bladder before making his way towards a waiting car.
The footballer had been enjoying a night out at popular Spinningfields Square venue Dear Sailor, which describes itself as a 'clandestine cocktail bar inspired by the speakeasies and jazz clubs of 1930s Tokyo.'
It's not the first time the England international has been caught short in public, having previously stunned onlookers by relieving himself against the wall of a £260-a-night hotel in broad daylight.
The incident happened in April 2022 outside The Bridge in Prestbury, Cheshire - approximately 24 hours after his side lost in the FA Cup semi-final to Liverpool at Wembley Stadium.
Guests at the hotel reported seeing the England and Manchester City defender looking around before pulling up his hoodie and relieving himself against a wall.
His latest incident comes amid claims his wife Annie Kilner will only give their troubled marriage another shot if he pays her a staggering £15million.
The 32-year-old is believed to be demanding around half of the Manchester City and England star's £27milllion fortune after he secretly fathered two children with influencer Lauryn Goodman.
Annie and Walker share four children and have spent the past year battling to save their shattered relationship.

And now the mother-of-four is said to have obtained preliminary legal advice ahead of a split which could see her bag half of the £150,000-a-week star's fortune.
The scandal has recently taken another twist after Annie's sister Sian gave birth to a baby boy who was conceived during a secret fling with a father-of-four.
MailOnline revealed yesterday how Annie has accused her sister of 'doing a Lauryn Goodman' by getting involved with a man who was still with his partner and their young children.
And now a source has told The Sun: 'It's a s***show at the moment. Kyle and Annie are arguing about pretty much everything.
'She's told him she will only consider giving it another go if he gives her half of his money first.
'She's been told she's entitled to half of his wealth if they split — and doesn't want another penny of her share going to Lauryn.'

The insider revealed that the married couple have spoken to solicitors about making a financial arrangement.
Walker, who started for Man City in their 1-1 draw with Newcastle on Saturday, is apparently happy for Annie to have the money so she and the children can have financial security.
The source added that it has been a challenging period for Annie, who is considering filing for divorce amid fears that the marriage can no longer be saved.
Adding to the mess is a breakdown in Annie and Sian's relationship, with the sisters having a number of heated exchanges in recent months over Sian's affair.
Annie refused to attend hospital last week when her sister gave birth and she has still not seen the baby.

Sian admitted to MailOnline: 'This is a sensitive situation for Annie, she absolutely doesn't condone my behaviour and is appalled at the upset it may cause.
'I sincerely apologise for any pain I have caused to the families involved, including my own.'
Sian, 26 revealed that that she intends to raise her baby alone and that the father will not be involved. MailOnline understands that his partner is unaware of the child.
A source said: 'Annie is still in a lot of pain over what's gone on in her marriage. She was shocked to discover what Sian was doing after what she went through. She doesn't condone her actions and has made this clear to her.
'Things are tense between them. Annie and Kyle are finally through a brick wall after seven months of trying to work things out and this news about Sian has shocked her to the core.'
The source revealed that Walker has also waded into the row between the sisters, accusing Sian of being a 'hypocrite' while also refusing to speak to her.

The source added: 'Sian sent vile messages to Kyle calling him every name under the sun when she found about him and Lauryn. Now he feels that she had no right to have a go at him in that way and be so vicious. He doesn't want anything to do with her.
'This situation has also not helped things between Annie and Kyle. Every time they have an argument about his cheating, he just says to her: 'Look what's gone on in your own family before you have a go at me.' Sian's behaviour has caused them even more problems.'
Walker was booted out of the marital home in January after Lauryn rang her just after Christmas to tell her that Kyle was the father of her second child, Kinara, as well as the older boy Kairo.
Annie, pregnant at the time, was hugely distressed.

Walker was present for the birth of Rezon, their fourth son, but they spent the summer living apart, with Kyle in an apartment in Manchester.
Former mistress Lauryn has capitalised on the situation with a number of media appearances, including bringing their son Kairo to watch his father in the Euros over the summer.
The saga began in 2020 when Goodman had her first child, Kairo, with the Man City star and publicly named him as the father. He was kicked out of the marital home for the first time.
A financial application for the son 'painfully and expensively' went through the family courts over two years.
Walker was ordered to buy Goodman a £1.85million home, though within a 60 mile radius of a Sussex town to prevent her being near his family, and pay £8,000 per month child support.

The footballer also paid over £600,000 picking up both sides' legal costs, cleared £40,000 of the influencer's debts and put over £100,000 in total towards a nanny, furniture and car.
Walker cut contact with his ex-mistress and moved back in with Annie, with whom he has Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, and Rezon.
But the influencer saw Walker at his solicitor's office and contact between the two was resumed in October 2022 after Walker travelled to London. Their second child was born in August 2023.
This summer a court heard that the situation was a 'source of disappointment, anguish and anger' for Goodman, who threatened to move near his family's Cheshire pile – in breach of the order – and made enquiries with nearby estate agents.
In January it emerged that Walker who is married with four children, had fathered a daughter with Goodman four years after they had a son together.
In the days leading up to Christmas last year Goodman made a series of social media posts, including a picture of the daughter on Instagram with the caption: 'I'm a lion'.
Then, knowing Annie – pregnant with her fourth child - was home alone while her husband was playing football on December 27, messaged revealing the secret.
'Hey it's Lauryn I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter,' she wrote.
Annie booted him out of their £3.5million marital mansion in Cheshire and he rented a £20,000-per-month property nearby.
