Fists Up
Apr 9, 2007

Mark Bosnich is a pretty famous Australian player who hosed up his career through drugs and lots of money.

He was probably the best keeper to come out of Australia and had a decent few years with Aston Villa in the 90's until he was signed to Manchester United in 99 as the replacement for Schmeichel. During his time at Villa he was most famous for giving a nazi salute to the Spurs fans. Probably not the smartest thing to do.

Played one season at United as the regular until Barthez replaced him as first choice. Subsequently spent all his money snorting cocaine and after a couple of years of getting nowhere at Manchester United moved to Chelsea where he continued to snort all the coke and loving prostitutes whilst earning millions of dollars without having to play.

Failed a drugs test and was banned for 9 months from football (then the longest ban for a footballer in England according to Wikipedia)

Subsequently gave up and pretty much spent the next few years spending all his money and snorting a lot of cocaine and became Bankrupt in 2008. Eventually gave up the drugs and a few years ago had a short stint as a keeper in Australia and now works as a pundit/commentator on Fox Sports here in Australia. I rather like him now.

I believe he was very good friends with Dwight Yorke and both enjoyed a good root with lots of ladies.

Amazingly he only played 17 games for Australia in the 90's (although the national team was pretty useless back then) until getting replaced by Schwarzer.
