mancinirules Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The only news GO'C will make nationally will not be signing for a LL League team but running away from Police, crashing a car, living in a Council house etc. His football stories have long gone. As a Hearts fan I chuckle as a football fan I just think what a waste of talent Living in a council house...oh the shame. Because all football fans have mortgages or privately rented properties in which to consume their prawn sandwiches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because all football fans have mortgages or privately rented properties in which to consume their prawn sandwiches. The point people are making about him living in a council house is he has ended up in one after earning £16k p.w. in Russia. Anyone with half a brain who had been earning that sort of dosh would have had the sense to put a good proportion of it away for when their career had come to an end.

geo87 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 He was rumoured to be 20k a week tax free in russia, plus a signing on fees. Then a couple of years at birmingham where he would have no doubt been on similar money (albeit taxed) plus another big sign on fee. Was he no done for insurance fraud on his Ferrari? Can't really remember the details but have a vague recollection of it? Total fanny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballer spends money during career so ends up with nothing. Not exactly unique, is he? And yes, oddly enough, I understood the point, I just thought it was pretty poor to suggest that living in a council house is now seen as a failure, when in reality, we should all live in council houses.

Grim O'Grady Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'm proud of my council house roots & funnily enough I'm in one up here ok the missus has bought it which is shameful but I blame thatcher. What was it George Best said about the money, "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.". Nowt wrong with working class lads hitting the big time & having a good time with it, 'sakes everyone of here no doubt would give their left testicle to have a shot at it. I like the idea of lads who have been billy big time coming back to their roots, it's a shame this story aint going to happen. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelee Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 He'll do well to get a better offer than Preston, though no doubt one of the Juniors will throw a few thousand at him in a desperate bid to feel important. The thing is no one is surprised by this, LL or Juniors is unfortunately his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even see the scheme from the west wing of our mansion since I had the wall built. Tam, like the wine very fine words. Sure I've heard them before. So are e-City part of the waged classes? Jolly good for them, could they come round on Saturday to do one's lawns? Sir Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say 100% for others on here but I wasn't implying that is a failure for anyone to live in a council or any other type of rented house nothing wrong with that at all some folk (not all folk) who live in such houses will be better off financially than people up their neck in debt with high mortgage payments. Sadly he probably isn't unique on footballers blowing their dosh, but to blow so much in such a short time is bad it wasn't that long ago that he would have been earning big money at Birmingham and would have still got a decent amount at Hibs.

Rob1885 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 He did ok in a very poor Hibs team. As for you being bitter.... You want to tell me to "accept" he's finished as a footballer I'll tell you yer bitter.... Doesn't make sense does it. Maybe stop thinking your opinion is the right opinion and let others have there's. Will give him his due, his goals in the first half of 11/12 kept Hibs in the SPL. He was electric for the first one or two months that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
