Ex-premiere League Player Goes From Grace To Grass. by Mustack: 1:05pm On Jul 17, 2014
Life! From international football ace to ship cleaner. Former Sunderland star, Kevin Kyle, who used to earn £10,000-a-week playing for the
EPL team now earns £800-a-

His duties include cleaning floors and toilets, making beds and stocking up supplies on the ship.
Apart from Sunderland where he last played in 2006, Kevin also played for Coventry, Kilmarnock, Hearts, and Rangers.
In a 2010 newspaper interview he said: “Sometimes in life money is not everything. I know a lot of people disagree with that but I had all the money years ago when I played
with Sunderland and Coventry and I p***** it up a wall gambling. So money, continue here here at http://musbolaj..com/2014/07/ex-premiere-league-player-goes-from.html

1. This is a nemesis of poor planning. A lot of lives will end like this. A scalar life that has magnitude but no direction will end in the shackles of poverty.
2.....but my head. £800 every fortnight?...kai that's £1600 per month. A roughly #250,000. If only we can get this kind jobs for the teeming jobless youths in Naija, abuse buse niyen o
