The fact the media are choosing to describe him as only an ex Manchester City playe is telling. Only leaving it late in the piece to explain he spent 90% of his playing career in the fatherland.

If he'd have been given an award or something good we wouldn't have gotten a mention :)

They're a British paper. The majority of their traffic comes from Britain. Ergo, they'll choose the team most relevant to British readers.

Not at all, it's a constant incessant spotlight on anything bad reflecting on us.

In fact if he hadn't have played for us it wouldn't have made the news over here at all.

Well, yeah - because he never would have played for a British team so it wouldn't be relevant to a British audience. His name is only remembered in Britain because he played for City, which is why City get mentioned in the headline.

I literally work for a paper that shares the same building as the Mail and is owned by the same parent company. Trust me when I say that this headline has been made with only one thing in mind: Google's SEO rules.

Fortunately the media cover all foreign players who have played for all British teams to keep us appraised of their actions and whereabouts.

NOT ;-)
 
With Colin Hendry’s recent legal difficulties, the aforementioned Gaudino and Mark Ward, of “From the right wing to B wing” fame, we’ve got the makings of a half decent City Lags masters team
Didn’t Gary Owen and John Gidman both get done for insurance fraud/fiddles back in the day?
On the opposite side of the coin, former full back John Foster is now a copper, possibly even a GMP detective

There's Joey Barton, Mendy, Adam Johnson, Meppen-Walter, Kelvin Etuhu and Ched Evans (who went to prison but his conviction was later and rightly overturned).

Just googled and there's also former youth players Ryan McDowell & Max Norman who both went to prison.
