Oh that’s really sad!
I met him recently - sober - on the tube and we chatted the rest of the journey (at least 20m) and he kept the conversation going more than me. I even politely said I’ll leave you to your book and he was like na I’m not really reading it anyway. He was a genuine bloke, affable, friendly, charming.
A mile away from your story.
We did speak about footballers being role models and he was saying he finds it hard the idea of footballers have to be role models when they are so young and in such a weird environment that we shouldn’t really expect them to have these high moral standards that set examples for kids. Which I sort of see the point of. Didn’t realise he partly meant because he didn’t want to be a role model :/
