He was a promising player at Arsenal and did well at Bristol City after he was with us.
I was excited when he signed for us but it just didn't happen.
Sad that he resorted to this, such a waste of a career.

How many ex footballers have been caught in the drugs game now?
There’s 3 or 4 ex city players.
Where is the support for them when the money runs dry. That’s the biggest question.
