Kevin McNaughton was caught up in the earthquake



Cardiff City legend Kevin McNaughton is among those to have been caught up in the earthquake that has hit the Turkish coast and the Greek islands.

The 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck in the Aegean Sea on Thursday night, with the small Greek island of Kos bearing the brunt of the impact.

Police have confirmed that two tourists - one Swedish and one Turkish - have been killed on Kos while more than 120 are believed to have been injured.

And another 70 people are thought to have been injured in the Turkish resort of Bodrum.

The quake triggered a small tsunami which has caused flooding in some parts of Bodrum and Kos and several people have been taken to hospital with injuries.

Bluebirds icon McNaughton was among those in the area at the time the quake struck, and the Scot took to social media to describe his shock at the events that unfolded around him.

In a post on his official Twitter account, McNaughton wrote: "Jesus just experienced earthquake in Turkey, literally c****** myself room shaking all over place, just stood outside now no sure what to do (sic)."

McNaughton - who remains without a club having left Inverness Caledonian Thistle earlier this summer - posted another message to say he was staying in Dalaman, a resort further up the east coast of south Turkey.

He also described how he had to "grab his kids (Archie and Finlay) and do a runner".
