ANDRE WISDOM has finally opened up about the embarrassing moment he got his £100,000 Porsche stuck in a huge puddle and almost missed a game.
The defender had only been in Derby for a few hours after joining the club on loan from Liverpool.

The 23-year-old, who is now on loan at Red Bull Salzburg, recalled to The Set Pieces: "Just go for it - I can get through this. I can't turn back.
