the worst part of the article is this part:
From the pitch to prison
There are about 130 former professional footballers currently in prison. |
Most are under 25 and sentenced for drugs offences. |
Notable footballers who have been jailed include former Everton striker Michael Branch (drugs offences), former Watford and Birmingham striker Marlon King (dangerous driving) and former West Brom defender Ronnie Wallwork (receiving stolen goods). |
I know that Marlon King is in prison at the moment for driving offences, but more of more significance was the prison sentence he received a few years ago when he grouped a random women in a nightclub, and when she rejected his advances he punched her in the face, breaking her nose. Absolute cunt of a person.
