Pro footballers today, think the real world doesn't involve them.
If they aren't messing about with women/crashing super cars/behaving like kids/ they are refusing to give ny helping hand if they can.
Not all of them I agree, but the majority.
One of the reasons I have never gone to a testimonial unless I know it's for charity.
What really racks me off is that they are the role models/heros/icons of future generations. RA will maybe point out that the likes of Reece Mogg are bigger 'crooks' and thats as may be but he and his ilk aren't also role models. Derby missed a trick by not sacking our villains earlier in the year, likewise Villa and Grealish, but money, and the asset value of these players, talks. There are no clean hands.
