Any other profession in the world and he would have been bounced out of the workplace and the police involved.
Every sport is suffering from the same things though, AFL, NRL with their own off field problems too.
The clubs of all codes need to take these players from a young age, teach them how to interact with people in a normal way and not make them multimillionaire megastar schoolboys who think the world is their playground.

Another Liverpool fan, great to see mate!
But the attitude of players is disgusting, the mercenary mentality that has now come into the game is terrible. It is no longer about pride and love of the game/club, but the money.
