    He's not a bad lad just thick as shit and got into the drug game, he didn't have the best of up bringings his auntie lost a leg injecting heroin, his fathers homeless begging in st Mary street also hooked on heroin and what ever else drugs or drinks available, also he can't read or write
    his mother well no comment but she's a beast
    After a life like that I thought the last thing he'd want to do is sell drugs
    He's a bloody idiot and looks like his son will be going the same way.

    Very very sad. What an absolute waste and I'm gutted to see his son is making the same path.

    The help in this country is surely not good enough when we see this happen time and time again.

    Indeed, and if the account of his family life above is accurate, it's easy to imagine what happened to the promising player the very second he began his professional career, and started earning some cash. Some never stand a chance, even if they have an apparently valid ticket out.
    And so the cycle continues.

    Absolutely, it's a never ending road and if you're born into it, it must be near impossible to forge something better without any proper help.

    Many large companies invest in their young recruits by providing mentors.
    We have had two very sad cases this week, this and Steven Caulker, and one can't help thinking that all clubs would do well to follow a similar path.

    It isn't rocket science. Get the player in the right frame of mind and you will reap the benefits.

    There's a good chapter in a book called Why England Lose which talks about how little clubs do to help. I remember a story about anelka, an insular character, going to Madrid and being left to himself. He took a senior players locker on his first day as he wasn't told what to do which instantly put the senior players against him. The last thing a guy like that needs. And this was a teenager in a new country that they'd spent a fortune on.

    For some reason, clubs tend not to care for their big assets off the pitch.

    The fact he can't read or write sums up the desperate, lack of support childhood he had.
