United, Shrewsbury Town and Doncaster striker Alan Brown. Since February 2019, Brown co-hosts the podcast Undr the Cosh with his former Preston North End teammate Jon Parkin and comedy writer Chris J. Brown. The show has received over one million downloads and has raised money for various charities, including £1,200 raised for Prostate Cancer UK following a 145-mile bike ride in June 2019. Controversies Paintball shooting On 7 September 2004, shortly before Brown's debut for Sunderland, Brown was cautioned by Northumbria Police along with teammates Sean Taylor and Ryan Bell for firing paintballs at passers-by from a car. The trio were initially suspended by the club during investigations, and were fined and handed written warnings for their behaviour. During a statement, the trio said they were "embarrassed" by their behaviour, and apologised for their actions. Brown made his debut the same day his fine was announced on 21 September 2004 and remained a first-team regular until his departure from the club. Sex tape scandal On 7 December 2006, it was reported that Brown, along with teammates Ben Alnwick and Liam Lawrence had filmed themselves in an orgy with a brunette girl referred to as 'Stevie'. In the video, Brown films his teammates perform sexual acts on the girl as well as themselves, and is said to give "Match of the Day" style commentary throughout. Former Sunderland midfielder Martin Woods also features on the tape partially clothed, along with two other men. In reference to the watching men, Brown reportedly comments "Here's the boys — the watching faithful — every week without fail."
