What a shame - was it just because of injuries he got fat? Also is he done professionally or just with City?

Injuries were the catalyst, he was out for over a year, came back and got injured again immediately, that 2nd time he didn't particularly work hard to get better, he's a known drinker and gambler and has been for the past few years, i've seen him out in clubs at various points and not even nice places, just out in student clubs with his mates spending his wages, word within City is that he made no real attempt to sort himself out. Professionally he's definitely done at City, he's just been released. I mean there is no reason that he couldn't get fit again, but at no moment in the past 18 months - 2 years has he shown any particular desire to do so. I hope he sorts himself out, but it seems unlikely. On top of that he's missed 3 or 4 years of development as a player since the work he has done in training has just been basic fitness work as opposed to any technical stuff.

I remember when he used to be a great prospect. A sad state of affairs. Let's just hope he's smart enough to get a proper job in the near future.

This was just a very, I would say, a small boos. Stars are always booed so I'm a star, you have to take it this way. I thought that the public in the Olympic Games, they would be a little bit better educated.

lol how all these players are gone

Also I think Leeds were linked with Michael Johsnon recently. I really feel bad for him, he was so promising. He needs to get on SwolePT and get back playing, or put that nice 5 year bulking cycle to work and become huge. But fat and drunk is no way to live.

Can someone post the video of the goalie sitting on a floating pad with a goal on it saving shots? I think it was in Amsterdam. It was posted in the old thread and I forgot what it was called.

I always wondered, do players get to keep the shirt that they wear after the game or do clubs re-use the shirts?

Sic transit gloria. Maybe we'll meet again someday, when the fighting stops.
I would imagine at the premier league level they would get at least a shirt a game; probably even more than one, in case something happens to a player's shirt before half-time. Shirts are constantly swapped, thrown to fans, torn, stretched, auctioned off at charities, etc. I guess if they wanted to keep it, if it was a particularly momentous match or something, they would do that too.
