At the time I would have liked him, although his bad boy reputation did put me off a bit.

Fine margins in football.

Eagles looked a world beater at one time, Riordan looked to have the pick of his clubs.

You need to look at the likes of Graham Alexander who dedicate themselves 100% to the game and their fitness levels to stay at the pinnacle of professional football.

It must be hard to keep away from the girls, the booze and nightclubs but surely that can wait until a rewarding career is finally over?
