Daily Mirror Apologises for Phil Brown Haiti Story

The "exclusive" claimed that "Phil Brown risks wrath of Hull squad by banning them from Haiti fundraiser", and that only Jozy Altidore was allowed to attend after "begging."

The piece of sensationalism was printed on Monday, and first appeared on the Mirror's football website on Sunday evening. It has now been removed and replaced with a "clarification".

It states: "We are happy to make it clear that Mr Brown did not instruct his players to stay away, and is a big supporter of charity fund-raising.

"Hull players were not prevented from attending and it was always the intention that Jozy Altidore would represent the club."
