AN AMAZING list of punishments for stars at Aston Villa has been leaked online, including fines for forgetting birthday cakes and wearing flip flops in the shower.
The club's fine list from a year ago under former manager Dean Smith has recently been leaked online.
Aston Villa's stars faced a long list of club rules - offering an incredible insight into the strict regimes modern footballers are under.
Turning up late to training would result in a straight £500 fine.
But the strict law book also included some slightly unusual crimes.
One of which was £50 a day each time a member of the squad forgot to bring in cakes when it's someone's birthday.

The club were clearly concerned about players slipping over in the shower - it was a £100 fine for anyone who did not wear FLIP FLOPS in there.
Being late for the team coach or a meeting cost them £200... PER MINUTE.
While the same offence on a match day resulted in a £1,000 fine.
Careless players who left their Snus - a type of chewing tobacco - lying around had to pay the consequences - £200 worth to be exact.

Being booked for dissent meant they had to cough up £200, although that's not as bad as the punishment for being sent off.
Anyone shown a red card had to take the entire team out for a meal - within four weeks of the day they were given their marching orders.
Leaving kit on the training field or leaving cutlery at the table in the canteen cost £100 an item.
Villa's stars had to also be mindful of where they leave their cars - because illegal parking cost them £100.
Other fines included not reporting to the team doctor by 10am for a new injury, forgetting their GPS for training, forgetting their recovery leggings, and not wearing the correct match day attire.

The list is believed to have been drawn up under former boss Smith, who is now in charge of Norwich.
It's understood his replacement, Steven Gerrard, has put his own rules in place since taking charge in November.
