By Advertiser Reporter A FORMER Swindon Town and Southampton FC player has been jailed for two-and-a-half years. Shayne Bradley, who made seven appearances for Swindon Town as a loan player in 1998/9, set up a fake dating profile and began hiding in bushes during his four month stalking campaign. Speaking after the sentencing hearing at Gloucester Crown Court, the 41-year-old’s victim said: He has always played the victim, lying and deflecting attention from himself. The lies he told about me were horrific and he ruined my life, so it is important that people know the real Shayne Bradley.” She said Bradley had been a charmer when they first met in September 2019 but his possessive nature began to come to light, as he “put himself on a pedestal” and claimed her friends did not have her interests at heart.
