Just goes to show how stupid some footballers are. £50K fine is probably a weeks wages but 8 months out and probably killed his England ambitions

He's far from blameless, but where the fcks his agent? Thought he'd keep an eye in him, must have known he has issues.

240 days off for 262 breaches over 4 years. Not going to put many other players off, is it? Half a season with his feet up then back to it.

Hopefully he'll get help for his addiction.

It's a cruel mistress.

Odds are he didn't.

Will he not receive any wages for those 8 months?

Only the wages of sin my son.

It was always on the cards but he still rolled the dice.

Does the 8 months ban include the off-season? Shouldn’t do imo
