Leon Knight - oh dear

[Super Steve Earle]

Poor Leon. Leon Knight all over Twitter threatening all sorts if he doesn't get back the £50k he has lost in an investment scam.

'Former Chelsea, Swansea and Brighton player Leon Knight, is among those who claims to have been *swindled.

Knight, 32, who is now the manager of Cheshire-based non-league side Barnton FC, claims to have lost up to £50,000 in the alleged con.

When contacted, he said he had been in touch with other victims.

He added: “It is unbelievable what has happened. All I want is my money back.”

Surely , by the law of averages : one day there will be thread on here which describes Leon's selfless acts of charity , and his voluntary work at a kitten rescue sanctuary.

Did he actually reply to an email from Nigeria?

It's all over The Sunday Mirror:

Leon Knight's a manager? Facking Hell.

I can't think of a role he is less well suited for. Begs the question who interviewed him and how drunk they were at the time.

Knight, boss of amateur side Barnton FC, added: “I like David Beckham as a person and a footballer but his sister is a d*** head.”

Priceless. I do feel sorry for the bloke no matter what people think of him. £50,000 is a lot of money to lose, especially for a retired footballer.

P.S ... And all of your goals that got us to the Play Off final of course Leon.

Agree. No-one should get ripped off like this, rich or poor, whether you like them or not.

I'd love to be in a pre match dressing room with Leon Knight

Leon - the gift that keeps on giving.

I actually live round the corner from Barnton, it's a tiny village on the outskirts of Northwich. Might go and watch a game.
