    The product of a brutal and poor upbringing and also a national mentality that “by any means needed”, some countries live by a different set of rules to us.

    He could have grown up in an igloo in the Arctic for all I care, no excuse for cheating. Idolising him just encourages other to copy his behaviour.

    Zidane, Platini, etc. are the next level. The five I mention are IMO on a different level skill wise, this is just my opinion, everyone has a different opinion, Mick's views are equally valid.
