Hate to say it, but i honestly can't see him lasting more than a couple of years. Back on the booze and mentally unstable is the worst of combinations...
It is sad, but I don't think I would go as far as saying I feel sorry for him. He's an adult who has made his own decisions in life. In fact, he's had an infinitely better life than he probably ever could have hoped to have had given his background - and all as a result of football - but has basically p*ssed his numerous opportunities in life up the wall.
If I kept going out getting w*nkered, smacking the missus, getting into rucks, etc and generally acting like a tw@t would any of you "feel sorry" for me? I doubt it.
As I said, yes it's sad because the man was probably the most talented English footballer of his generation and he never fulfilled his potential. Still made a mint out of it though - enough to be set up for life if he wasn't such an idiot.

Wish he had the mental strength to sort it out. but sadly, unlikely.
