I guess the song we sang about him wasn't too far from the truth after all?

Alcoholism is an evil mistress. I hope that he uses his time in jail to beat his demons once and for all.

Can't say it's a huge surprise given his problems at Plymouth, Cheltenham etc. but sad nonetheless.

Good riddance. I would say what a waste, but he was hardly great... I wasn't trying to make any excuses for what he did, and have no argument with the jail sentence. Having seen at close quarters how alcoholism can turn lives upside down, I wouldn't wish it upon anybody as a life sentence, whether or not they were a sh*t footballer. |

The only thing sad about this is the physical abuse and mental damage inflicted on those he assaulted.
Being an alcoholic doesn't mean you instantly turn in to a violent, robbing psychopath.
He's done some truly awful things in the past and this time he has finally got his comeuppance.
In a world where the young and the good are often taken too soon, I see no sadness at all that a mindless thug - "an 'orrible" Special lady garden" as it was once aptly put, will be rotting in a cell for the next few years.

P.S tilly, my post isn't pointed at you - as you make a fair point.
I just mean we (and he) shouldn't make excuses for his terrible and appalling behaviour.

Sounds from the BBC report that one incident was a row over a car crash and the robbery was him taking and smashing a mobile that someone was filming the incident with. Anyone know what the other incident was all about ? The first one sounded like a scuffle, for which 4 years seems quite a long sentence - seems he hit the person though, not really clear how hard etc from the report. Being a footballer and having a history would have gone against him I guess ....

Whilst ON BAIL for the incident you describe, he then got watered up, walked down a high street in Swindon (from memory) and assaulted and mugged two people. |
