jeagle 0 Posted August 14, 2012 I saw this article the other day and thought it was a great view into a Premier League footballer''s life (although probably not a typical one).Would love to know who it is! Apologies if the link doesnt work.http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/aug/10/secret-footballer-undercover-premier-league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can u sit down please 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Agree, great read. Saw it on Saturday and since then I''ve been thinking about who it is. The best fit seems to be Dave Kitson. Anyone else got any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuckerbysMullet 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Top post, thanks for that. Don''t think it''s Dave Kitson, but then again I have no idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,613 Posted August 14, 2012 This website have been trying to work out who it is for a long time. http://www.whoisthesecretfootballer.co.uk/ Personally I don''t think it is one individual footballer, but rather a few players who all submit pieces on different topics. Sometime there are contradictions between articles etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeagle 0 Posted August 14, 2012 I did think maybe Andrew Johnson!? Interestingly that site has him as a contender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuckerbysMullet 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Saying that, I''ve just been doing a bit of background research, on the comments tab of the article a video pops up of Dave Kitson getting absolutely smashed off the pitch by Valencia... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,178 Posted August 14, 2012 One of the first things I turn to on Saturday morning, almost always an interesting read. Think I might buy the book too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

star_manic 0 Posted August 14, 2012 brilliant read, throws some light on the hedonistic lifestyle of top footballers and the pitfalls inherant in this lifestyle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,211 Posted August 14, 2012 Personally, I don''t give a monkey''s banana about investigating the identity of the player as I feel that there is a lot of ''journalistc license'' in the article and that it is probably an amalgum of several pro footballer''s experiences collected together by some enterprising hack. A good read though and I shall be onto it weekly now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valencia has only been playing here since 2006. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets be aving you! 0 Posted August 14, 2012 The allusion to Marcel Proust and his Remembrance of Things Past suggests that there may be some poetic licence here, or that Cantona has had some ghostwriting input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
