    One-time millionaire football club owner Glenn Tamplin is on the run from the police.<\/p>\n

    Hertfordshire Police want the former Billericay Town and Romford FC owner on two warrants.<\/p>\n

    The steel magnate, 57, failed to show up at St Albans Magistrates Court earlier this year for the breach of a court order.<\/p>\n

    Tamplin failed to comply with the requirements of a community order between 19 October and 4 November 2022.<\/p>\n

    He had a second arrest warrant issued by St Albans Magistrates Court in October this year for possession of cocaine in May.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    A police mugshot on the Herts Police website is accompanied with the information that his last known addresses have been in Watford and Essex.<\/p>\n

    A Hert Police spokesman said: "A warrant was issued by St Albans Magistrates\u2019 Court on 12 July 2023 for failing to comply with the requirements of a community order between 19 October 2022 and 4 November 2022.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

    "A warrant was also issued by St Albans Magistrates\u2019 Court on 3 October 2023 for possession of a controlled Class A drug (cocaine) on 9 May 2023."<\/p>\n

    Tamplin shot to fame when he became the owner of non-league football club Billericay Town in December 2016 and they started splashing the cash.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Jermaine Pennant, who once played in a Champions League final for Liverpool, and ex-Tottenham star Jamie O'Hara were among the big money arrivals to the club. <\/p>\n

    He appointed himself as the team's manager and went viral on social media after getting his team to gather in a huddle and sing R Kelly's World's Greatest prior to a county cup final.<\/p>\n

    Tamplin invested his own money into renovating the club's stadium – including the installation of a giant mural of himself in bed with his wife – but would step away from his role as owner and director in 2019.<\/p>\n

    He subsequently took over Romford FC, but did not last long.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Tamplin made his money in the steel industry after he was able to turn a \u00a350,000 loan into a \u00a340million fortune. In 2017, he was named the second most powerful person in the Essex Power 100.<\/p>\n

    But he has recently fallen onto financial hardship in recent years and blames the coronavirus pandemic for his struggles. <\/p>\n

    In late 2021, the Daily Star reported how Tamplin was attacked at his \u00a310million mansion in Abridge, Essex. <\/p>\n

    Tamplin suffered minor injuries in the attack, in which a man was arrested for actual bodily harm, but did not require hospital treatment.<\/p>\n
