alexistaiwo:
Still doesn't change the fact that he wasn't in the starting eleven.
He was the fourth choice after Addy, Vieri, Crespo.

#9 DAVID BENTLEY

David Bentley had a serious gambling problem which the winger said started when he was just 14! Betting on up to a hundred events every day he put his money on the line for everything which included dogs, horses and even boring old Bingo. However, his addiction didn’t stop him from getting noticed, not initially at least. He started his promising career at Arsenal amidst all the gambling and played just nine times for the senior side.

However, after failing to break into the side, he moved to Blackburn Rovers soon after and gave his career a real kick-start.

Described as the new Beckham, Bentley earned himself a big move to Tottenham Hotspur but spent of his time there on loan with the likes of Birmingham, West Ham United and Rostov before he retired at the age of 29. He claimed he lost all interest in football which had become all about money and social media. Sound familiar?

internationalman:

Only God knows where he plays now.

op sorry to say but this 1 is partly wrong, Adriano started going astray when his father died. b4 then he was 1 of the best thing to happen to Brazil and inter. he had a bond with his father and when the father died he broke down, Javier zenethi his close friend explained everything that happened to Adriano in a press conference and the reason for his flop.

Which nightmare?
How many match them dey pitch together?
E no reach five matches sef.

Goodnuel:
I don't think Rodwell did anything bad... Players are always looking to try themselves at the very top. And City was offering him that. Although it didn't work out, would be harsh to call him greedy..

And Anelka too, he didn't ruin his career, he played and won trophies with top teams.


That Adriano own sha... E pain me.

#5 PAUL MERSON

Paul Merson is a pundit for Sky Sports and famously advised Hull City to give a chance to young English managers like Thierry Henry! While we know where Henry hails from, it sure tells you a little something about Merson himself. While it’s easy to laugh at the former Arsenal player now, there was a time when he was battling with a serious gambling addiction aided by his considerable wages in north London.

A Gunner from the start, his problems started early and he admitted his addiction to cocaine, alcohol and gambling in 1994. The FA did their best to help and instead of banning him, sent him to rehab for three months. His addiction reared its ugly head once again when he was at Aston Villa where he confessed he wanted to break his fingers so that he couldn’t place any more bets. Merson claimed that his excessive pay package made the money seem unreal and it only encouraged his demons.

#3 ADRIANO

Nowadays, Adriano can be seen touting guns more often than scoring goals, but the Brazilian forward had the potential of being one of the best forwards of the 2000s. However, his instantaneous rise to fame and fortune took him down a very dark path. He came to notice when he was at Parma in Italy scoring 23 goals in 37 games in the league but developed into an elite striker only during his second stint at Inter Milan.
He scored an astonishing 38 goals in 78 appearances which made Inter give him a very lucrative five-year deal. His change in fortune, though, also marked the beginning of the end for Adriano.

The Brazilian went clubbing too often, performed poorly in games and even started showing up for practice hungover. He was sent on an unpaid leave by Massimo Moratti and his contract was finally rescinded in 2009.

Adriano can now most often be seen in his favela in Rio where he hangs out with local gang members. Unfortunately for the forward, the death of his father and his unexpected riches proved to be too much for him to handle.

I have met andriano a few times in Milan, we looked so much alike facially but the guy had mad issues, he would sleep with more than a girl at the same time. Always engaged in party, always did. Mad alcoholic too

BluntBoy:
He couldn't also manage his weight. I feel so sorry for him. Pele told him to calm down then but he was rude to Pele. He was rude to a lot of people. He felt he was the best thing to have happened to football. Little did he know that he was very wrong.
