    Lessons in determination, dedication and sacrifice would never go amiss in football. Get rid of the fawning journalists and pundits and declare footballers as players and not superstars would be a start.

    Just watched Mo Farah ... Tripped, fell & still had the determination and courage to get up and win.

    99.9% of playerd are overpaid prima donna mercenary fannies. But there is some that show fight and determination time after time.

    Catts for example for us. Most squads will have at least one.

    Scholes was another example.

    What winds me up is that they lose sight of the fact that they are or have been lucky enough to have arrived at their situation and once they become rich seem to detach themselves from ordinary everyday life.

    Rich they may be but sensible they ain't.

    Sadly this is partly the press problem.
