Leave him alone, he's obviously happy with his family life. I always find it strange that ex-footballers who remain in the limelight, either through media work or getting drunk, are often criticised but when they stay out of the limelight there called a recluse. Koumas obviously saw football as just a job, he then moved on, as we all do after changing jobs.

It's bordering on stalking publishing his private photos like that.
They’re on his Instagram in fairness, I found it quite an interesting read.Quote:

I don't see how encroaching on a person's privacy could be viewed as good journalism. By all means he can request an interview, or ask for permission to post private photos, but in this case I think the journalist in question has gotten a little bit ahead of himself.Quote:

I send them all a message. No reply."
The photo on WalesOnline is not his. It's a direct link to his friend's instagram.Quote:

The journalist still used it without permission, and I don't think he will be getting that call from Jason after Christmas to do an interview!Quote:

So glad I'm not a journalist, what a lot of effort he put into that for nowt. Chatting to a concierge where he used to live, bloody hell...
