SHOCKER! Leeds owner Cellino axes big Paddy over birthdate!

Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino has reportedly sacked goalkeeper Paddy Kenny.

The Daily Star says Cellino has told new Leeds boss Dave Hockaday not to pick the £10,000-a-week star as his birthday - May 17 - clashes with his least favourite number.

Kenny, who is the second highest-paid player at Elland Road, has been dropped from the squad for their current pre-season tour of the Italian Alps.

Leeds have also completed the signing of Reading goalkeeper Stuart Taylor on a free transfer to cast further doubts on Kenny's future.
