I have a small son who has already taken a keen interest in Football. I am very happy for him to pursue this in both a playing and supporting capacity. I am, however, very aware of the fact that so many of his potential "heroes" are actually a bunch of arrogant, spoilt and cheating individuals. I do not like to pick on teams and freely admit that my team has a fair share of these individuals but to pick the names that commonly get mentioned in relation to this type of behaviour are people like Ronaldo, Henry, Drogba, Robben etc. Surely something can be done to remove football from being a cut throat business enterprise back to what it is - a game!?!
If your son loves football then he would look up to Ronaldo, Henry etc.for there skills not there actions.
