He does get a lot of enjoyment out of the game, and I wouldn't for one second deny the lad that.

However, much of my relief at him not going on to play professionally is that the ridiculous account of money players get paid often does them no good at all, if the lives of some of them are anything to go by.

How terrible that would have been for the lad.

Yes it would have been. Money is not the be all and end all, especially the stupid amounts professional footballers are paid for merely kicking a ball around, not doing anything worthwhile.
