£600,000 worth !!!!!!!
Pleased for the lad
So that's drug smuggling he also isn't very good at. Back to the drawing board!
I'm no expert on drug smuggling through airports, seems a bit negligent to just fill a suitcase of the stuff. Isn't there usually a bit more skill to it?
When they opened the case i'd have loved him to just say "it's for medicinal use".
Shouldn't we be taxing cannabis anyway instead of sending the poor guy to prison for it.
he must be looking at a fair few years for that
he had 6 - 7 years playing for championship clubs, was well paid at Bristol City by all accounts, whats he done with the money ? ?
Is that RRP or wholesale price?Quote:

as you said clearly a moron, but footballers at times do tend to live upto that stereotype
Sentenced this afternoon to 4 years at his majesty's pleasure
4 years seems lenient, no?Quote:
