I remember about 20 odd years ago, a Scandinavian (I think) footballer playing for Spurs or Arsenal caused a bit of a stir when he admitted that he went to training by public transport. But that was unusual enough to be noted in the mid-90s, it would be impossible now
That's a great memory. It was quite common 50 years ago, I wonder when was the last time a player got to the game by public transport (although we all know when the last time was that they left ...)
