One of the Palace players in the 70s for fake money can't remember his name!

Mickey Quinn did a bit of bird, in between banging in goals at the Goldstone for whoever he played for (at least he always seemed to score against us). Didn't Bradford City recruit Jamie Lawrence on his release, after a scout saw him playing in a prison football match?

Vince Hilaire.
Pretty sure it was Rachid Harkouk and Barry Silkman - don't think either of them did time either. Think they got probation or some slap on the wrist

Anyway you are all missing the point! Would you say for example Ched Evans is released next year, be happy if we signed him?
What's truly amazing, all this criminal activity around football and none of it's drug related, recreational, or otherwise.
No, because he was jailed for rape, but I would have been happy to have seen Cantona in the stripes.

Remarkable isn't it? Or do they just get 'long injuries' instead?
If only it were that difficult, remember the mantra:-
If you don't test you can't find anything.

I wonder how long this website has been saying the same thing?

You're right. It was Harkouk I was thinking of. Sorry Vince!
I've bookmarked the page, I'm sure it'll be updated soon!!

WHAT!!!! Cantona wearing a Brighton kit? I can't think of a worse nightmare. The man is absolute scum.

Drug-testing in football: how does it work and does it go far enough?

1,200 tests last year at all levels of professional football. There must be thousands of players.
As you say, I find it hard to believe that football is so clean. Certainly a distinct lack of players being caught out for recreational use.
