A total credit on BBC2 last night and watched them for about 3 hours.
Won a few medals and were a total credit to themselves and his country. Contrast them with the money grabbing footballers.I love Wigan Athletic but rapidly falling out with the professional game which is just full of greedy wanks, both foreign and home grown. Nobody at the Premiership gives a crap about anything except money.

Not all footballers just care about money, some will be loyal to there club.
What I find strange is that almost no footballers grew up actually supporting a team as a Season Ticket holder.
Quite a few even go to just watch certain players play, like Rio Firdinand, he went watching Liverpool to see John Barnes play a few times when they were away at London baced sides.

Its not that strange if you think about it. If you wind up a professional footballer in your 20’s then chances are you’ve been playing for at least one, if not a couple, of youth teams ever since you could kick a ball. If you get picked up at a young age by a pro club then they’ll have you playing all manner of games as well – it doesn’t leave much time to spend watching a specific team & doesn’t make buying a season ticket worthwhile
Not that I was lucky enough to be that good at football but I do ref youth games & some at a pro Academy side & they’re always playing. A woman at works son plays for a coupld of sides & has been for trials at quite a few north west clubs and as she said a few months back he doesn’t have the time to follow his team (Everton in this case)
