The Raptor 1,231 Posted January 14 Modern footballers are portayed as heroes worshiped by thousands yet obviously still have a normal life. Earlier I saw Sara walking his dogs. Previously I've seen Normann putting his bin out. What random everyday things have you seen footballers do? Catch a bus? Check a book out in a library? Can you tell I'm bored!?

Top corner 228 Posted January 14 I picked up Marcel Franke & Marco Stiepermann from Stansted Airport, it was after their summer break & it was prior to the 2018/19 promotion season. Franke didn't speak much, but I remember how Stiepermann was impressed with how the club was run....How times have changed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
