Shock! Horror! An honest footballer says it's all about the money!

.............except when you can't pay the rent or buy enough food.

Then it becomes something.......but never everything.

 

[W.C.]

Originally as a child they enjoy it, perhaps it then becomes a passion and the excel at it, they play with friends. neighbours, schoolmates.

But then as many accelerate through the system they experience the pressure, sometimes abuse and a dressing room full of other unrelated colleagues, most vying for each other shirt.

Too often fans think being a professional footballer is amateur football, but with more money, it quite clearly isn't.

Agree with this.

And why on earth should players like Zamora be obsessed with football? I would never accuse Bobby of not putting in any effort, so why should he share the passion that fans feel.

Football can be a pretty murky world at times but we're always to quick to lay in to the players.
