In case you haven't realised, public figures have more of a responsibilty to be aware that young impressionable eyes are watching. They have a responsibility to their younger fans who watch their every move.



No I am not kidding. It does make him less of a player because other players have achieved greatness without taking drugs, and gone on to inspire thousands of kids into sport. It is your type of opinion that makes drug usage acceptable. You are the one that has to be kidding.

It is obvious you are a huge fan, but take the passion out of it. Your are looking through rose coloured glasses. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, but in my mind, if this is your true viewpoint, and you can really see no problem with his actions, it would seem your 2c has been spent unwisely.

Yea fair case mate. And of course i dont think drug use is acceptable, all im saying is he was one of the best ever footballers and that shouldnt be taken away from him because of something he does off the field in his own time, even if it is rediculously stupid.
