Slightly off topic but I saw this earlier on the Guardian blog:
59 min: "The Rooney situation reminds me of when Andrei Kanchelskis demanded a move," writes Martin Crookall. "The very strong rumour at the time was that he had run up gambling debts so deep that the only way he could clear them quickly was with the signing on fee from a transfer. You have to wonder when you see how Rooney's been behaving of late." While there isn't a shred of evidence to suggest Kanchelskis had, or Rooney has, gambling debts [types min-by-min reporter as Guardian lawyer aims shotgun at his temple], I do know of one Premier League footballer who dropped a division for no apparent reason because he needed his signing-on fee to pay gambling debts.
Anyone speculate on who that was??
