I'm not suggesting he's anything but happy with his lot, not at all, but I wonder how many players in the top flight these days will ever have to work like that in times to come?Milne has had it very rough, as he's now dead.

Another non Villa player, but it was shocking to see Kenny Sansom in the paper a while ago, alcoholic and pot less, was reduced to sleeping on a park bench.
Terrible to hear Robbie Savage yesterday, he was babbling incoherently on the radio, only heard a bit of whatever it was but I assume it was a programme about the permanently bewildered.

He's a bit of a mardy fucker, obviously I don't know for sure if it's because he has to do a job like that but I suspect it is.
