Hope the headline didn't worry too many people and I think it's really sad to see such a high profile player, has fallen on such hard times, particularly after the death of his young wife!

another who falls to the gambling curse. As someone who has trained greyhounds in the past I can tell you it is impossible to beat the bookie unless you are in the know and even then things rarely go to plan but it's nice when they do ;)

He's had a right hard tme of it, but you shouldn't spend what you haven't got, especially on that scale.

Hope he sorts himself out.

Well gambling is an addiction very much like drugs and/or alcohol and it is very hard to kick the habit. I hope he sorts that part of his life out first once he does then he can get the rest of his life on track.

Sad that, his lad is in the same Blackburn academy team as my step-son though he hasn't been since his mum died.
