Syteanric 1 Posted September 16, 2015 Gary Croft... or Gary Convict as he became known...must be something in the P$$water down 1p5wich way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted September 16, 2015 Mendham was very much a different case to be honest. Doesn''t make it right but its not quite the same as drug dealing or becoming a convicted sex offender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrow89 0 Posted September 17, 2015 Their youth coach Ian Smith also had rather light fingershttp://www.eadt.co.uk/news/ex_academy_coach_conned_footballers_1_75583 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwans Big Toe 309 Posted September 17, 2015 [quote user="chicken"]Mendham was very much a different case to be honest. Doesn''t make it right but its not quite the same as drug dealing or becoming a convicted sex offender.[/quote]They''re all different cases Chicken. And I''m not really sure that attempted murder is any better or worse than rape or drug dealing, though that''s not the point I was trying to make. If you look hard enough at any football club there are going to be ex-offenders that play for them. Lee Hughes, Luke McCormick, Graham Rix, Craig Thompson, Glen Johnson, even greats like Rene Higuita, Diego Maradona and Eric Cantona have criminal records for things like kidnapping, assault, sex offences, causing death by dangerous driving and theft. What I was trying to point out though is that City have ex-players that have criminal records, it''s not something to be particularly proud of and I''m sure that a majority of the binner''s fans feel the same.

Carrow89 0 Posted September 17, 2015 I think it is you that is actually missing the point here, IBT. We know that all clubs have their black sheep. Former players breaking the law. But with the binners they are not former players, or even one or two, either. They were part of the club. Taylor, N''daw, Bramble, Chopra and even a youth team coach. They were also trying to sign Coppinger who along with Chopra was involved in race fixing. And the major match fixing game which saw Sheff Weds players convicted was against, yep you guessed..... the binners ! Scum by name and scum by nature.
