I’d stick a private eye on a player for a few weeks before any signing just to check on lifestyle for starters.

Not just lifestyle though is it - players like Astle and Robson even liked a pint on match days but they didn’t have numerous injuries. They also played far more matches!

I call it weakness of mind with many of todays folk - work shy - weak in body and mind! Too many people now are weak minded - medication for the slightest thing - jabs for flu/Covid and a jab for a jabs sake!

A fit and healthy guy never had flu jabs years ago or was pampered for f uck sake! My late father had all the windows open for fresh air and we were never ill - if you were cold you were told to put another jumper on!

How many 22 year olds had so many injuries in the 60’s/70’s? Pathetic the folk of today and they need a good shake!

Even the drain on GP’S were the same hypochondriacs week in week out!

We need contracts to incorporate games fit v games unfit and pay distributed accordingly! Zohorse if he was a horse would be put down!!
