- Jackson Irvine was forced to cancel his wedding
- Socceroo, 31, was due to marry his partner Jemilla
- But he was too drunk after the promotion celebrations.
Australian international footballer Jackson Irvine was forced to cancel his wedding after spending two drunken days celebrating promotion.
The 31-year-old former Burton Albion and Hull City star captained German side St Pauli back to the country’s top flight following their 3-1 win over VFL Osnabruck on Sunday.
He was due to marry his fiancée Jemilla in Denmark on Tuesday, however the deteriorating footballer forgot to bring his passport to the ceremony, causing Danish officials to refuse to go ahead with the ceremony.
Jemilla, a tattoo artist, took to Instagram to share what happened, and the couple were forced to postpone the tattoo until he felt better.
“When you’ve been drunk for 2 days and you forget to bring your passport to your wedding date,” he posted along with three clown emojis.
