GOC and the golden prison

Decent read that.

What a waste (or waster?) or a player.

Both.
Had everything he needed to be a success. Russia would've been hard no doubt, but there's no excuse for the rest of his career to go where it did.
 
Word on the street first time at ER he was on the Colombian marching powder even then.
Has never been the sharpest tool in the box, but he was a cracking player with the world at his feet as a 20year old. I don't think he's a bad lad, just easily led.
 
He had the winning lottery ticket, just couldn't cash it in. Two years in Russia for a million quid? Think I could manage that.
 
I'd happily be a recluse in a top apartment earning 16K basic a week....
