I have just looked him up, and he is apparently playing for Warrington Town. He is only 33. Funny - it seems longer ago than that.
I agree with the luck. But I feel it still always comes back to one thing. Attitude.
Here's another nearly man. David Bentley. When his attitude was good, with us, he got himself on the fringes of the England side.
Then his career nose-dived horrifically due to his poor attitude after leaving Rovers.
