http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24901460 I watched the documentary about this and saw the speed the kid was doing and the way he t-boned the the car. Wow you just knew people were dead as soon as it collided. This kid had the world at his feat and was captain of England U-19's and had a massive future. I saw the trauma that the other family went through which is still going on and one of the brothers is still struggling with brain injuries. It was horrendous and will never be over for them, yet the young lad does 8-months and gets back into football. We all did stupid things in our youth and he has done his time, even though you question was the time enough for what he did? Does he desrve another chance and maybe he should donate some of his wealth to supporting that family? On a selfish front I would love the kid at TA
Yeah I saw that documentary too. Tbh I feel bad for the victim's family but the Court spoke and the kid did his time. He deserves to have a chance now to live the rest of his life without been hounded about a mistake he made at 18 year old every time he scores an important goal, transfers clubs ect. On top of having to live with what he's done he's served 8 months in young offenders which despite what the Daily Mail would tell you is no walk in the park especially when every other prisoners knows your loaded. No matter how good he is now no big club (Man U ect) is going to risk bad PR for him so he's never going to be loaded again but if say he's on 5k a week at some League One or Championship club I think 1k a week donation to the family would go a long way to rebuilding his reputation. At the end of the day he was an 18 year old in a very powerful car going 55 in a 30 zone. I doubt he's the first to do that, I doubt he'll be the last only this time 2 people died and 1 seriously injured. I don't think had he been a footballer he'd have got this much attention or been this stigmatised, demonising him like he's some serial killer isn't justice or rehabilitation.
