Saying that, no one is above the law if found guilty and the characters above certainly paid the price in one way or another for their waywardness (Rooney is excepted here as he didn’t break any laws that I know of but I’m sure the lovely Miss McLoughlin more than got her fair share of make up presents from Burberry after his antics were put in the papers).

I would make a connection between arrested footballers and a certain North London den of corruption but I want to attract more fans of other teams to this site so will leave my old prejudices at the door (I did try to balance it up with old Pleaty, honest guv!)

From the young Marcus Artrys, aspiring Jermaine Pennants, talented Paul Vaessens, established Robin van Persie, national team captain Tony Adams to has-been Graham Rix…they were all jailed or at least detained.

Yet in this age when scandals are no longer scandals but opportunities to make quick money, unsuspecting Graham Stacks could become victims.

I no longer believe 100% what I read in the paper, may even stop buying papers with alleged scandals. As at the end of the day, footballers are also human, what they might have done, is just another story.

And the topic of a chant at the next away game.
