football is just a job...

Benoit Assou-Ekotto has always been honest in saying that football is just a job and he does it purely for the money... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16960846

i'm wondering if any of the wise and knowledgable NSC-ers know of any other players with a similar outlook on the game. I know Curtis Woodhouse was never that interested, and towards the end of his career spent more time in a boxing ring than training for football.

If anyone has examples please post them as i'm trying to put together a piece for work, cheers

Apparently Leon Knight, has never a F*ck given, about actually fulfilling his considerable talents, for the sake of his gobbyshiteness.

David James said it recently in the Guardian. He wasn't a football fan at all as a kid.

Didn't Chris Eubank say something similarly honest about boxing?

I admire his honesty. I'm good at what I do for a living. Doesn't mean I dreamt about doing it as a kid.
