"A PREMIER League football star broke down in tears after blowing £1million at a casino in one night.

Gamblers were stunned when the player – a household name – sobbed after frittering away the cash in an amazing run of bad luck.

The multi-millionaire star, a regular in his national team, had been drinking before hitting the roulette and poker tables.

As the losses piled up, he looked sick and wailed: “What have I done? My mum can’t know about this.” "


Who?
- Owen ?(not a regular england player)
- Rooney ? (could he be that stupid ?)
- Gerard? (absent from one England game?)
- Bridge?
-CR ? (is thats why he crashed his Ferrari?)
- your guess ?

This footballer obviously is a degenerate gambler. fully addicted or lack discipline and willpower to quit or

is it the clubs fault for piling tons of quids (£1## ,000) every week on him. What does he do with all this money?

What does it say about Pro Footballers (especially EPL) in general.

i think its rooney ..

p/s ronaldo dun have gambling prob le ...

And what does that say about EPL clubs (see my thread on Manchester City) going on a buying binge.

This reinforced all the Cassandras outcries.

Hard to speculate but of the players you've mentioned, I've only ever seen one cry.

My bet on Rooney. He got the problem since he was playing in everton.

I rule out Owen, because he is the 2nd richest english player, ranked after david beckham, and reported he got a lot property.

You're probably right. Rooney and Owen were "indebted" to bookies before, with Rooney close to his momma.

When i clicked on that link, it was already broken.

Anyways, why are you guys speculating English players. From the very limited description, could be any nationality, Spain, Italy and etc.

Could be. Remember rooney had alledged £700K debt with bookie wipeout

Besides Roo,
could the following England players
John Terry, Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand?
They were also alledgely involved previously with Stephen Smith, a business
associate of Rooney's one time England striking partner, Michael Owen.

Yea..out of all the players, only THAT player cried more than once...Anyway, in carra's autobiography, he did mention about another player that happen to be timid...

My bet is on Rooney....haha he got the records of betting straight after came back from CL away game....

I've seen Terry and Fabregas cry as well. Does that make them contenders?

Why not?

As far as I know,those crying most in front of camera is the favourites of this, no?

And someone cried at least twice.

Im trying to imagine Gallas here ...

But I really doubt it will be any top BPL players, wage + ads fees must be more than enough to cry over 1 million loss.

Btw, the link is either old or removed by the paper website...

think its roo.. i think he just lost some cash in gambling recently. cant be cesc. the guy is in spain now, cant even walk, let alone blow his cash..lol

Nevermind.. Can recoup in no time. Still stupid tho.

meh.. 1 mil pounds?

thats just 2 weeks wages for kaka (when he comes to City)

From what I know, David Bently got gambling issue,
but he is not a regular in England.

Gazza cried when he got yellow carded at the semi finals of the world cup.

um, yea.. i can so imagine gazza going,' i lost 1 million! wat do i tell my MUM'
IMO, the player is an unmarried person coz he is more scared about his mum finding out instead of his wife.

suspiciously seem like rooney, he fits the few criteria too well
