DISGRACED footballers

[turienzo's lovechild]

thread full of footballers who have failed to live up to their potential due to a minor/major personality flaw, or just footballers who have been NAUGHTY BOYS

1. Drug Mental and former PLAYBOY- Mark Bosnich

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

"Bosnich has admitted that much of his cocaine problem was due to his relationship with British model Sophie Anderton, claiming that for every line she had, he had to have one too. He does not regret his actions however, crediting them with being able to help someone in need. "All I did was fall in love with someone and care about them deeply and I put them ahead of everything and so be it... As Martin Luther King said, 'life is not worth living unless you find something worth dying for ... And at that time, for me, that person was more important than football." [11]. His addiction soon worsened; he later said "There was a stage where I got up to 10 grams a day when I was really down in the dumps.""

Antonio Cassano
“Many times I played great games right after having sex. Go look at Roma-Juve 4-0. I had sex at six in the morning that Sunday, with one of the many ‘friends’ I had at that time.

In Madrid it was even easier, because we were in a hotel, the whole squad and staff on one floor, so on the floors above or below you could invite whoever you wanted to meet you during the night. I made friends with one of the waiters. His job was to bring me 3 or 4 cornetti after I had sex. He would bring the cornetti to the stairs, I would bring the girl and we would make a trade: he took the girl, I stuffed myself with cornetti. Sex plus food, the perfect night“.

Why, out of interest?

Why, out of interest?

Because its Matty Etherington, he seems harmful, has a reall little face, and just to imagine him with gambling problems, etc just makes me chuckle.

Don't want to come across as boringly anal (because I am not) but you surely can't have found the death threats funny?

"Barton has a fiery temper and occasionally gets into on-field confrontations"

"In May 2005 he broke a 35-year-old pedestrian's leg while driving his car through Liverpool city centre at 2 am"

"He was arrested on suspicion of assault and criminal damage after an alleged argument with a taxi driver in Liverpool while going to his hotel after a match on 13 March 2007"

"On 27 December 2007, Barton was arrested on suspicion of assault in the Church Street area of Liverpool city centre following an incident which took place at 5:30 am.[108] He was remanded in custody on 28 December since the alleged offence was committed whilst he was on bail for two prior offences; the presiding magistrate noted "I also have to consider the safety of the public - you lashed out indiscriminately""

 

[Lady Whistledown]

On googling Robin Friday, it says he once head-butted Mark Lawrenson, and then sneaked off to the dressing room and crapped in his kit bag.

Now I know Lawro's an Albion legend, but admit it, you'd love to have seen the look on his face when he unzipped that bag for a little post-match tash-grooming

Two for the price of one...
