"It is about going back 90 years, about footballers who joined up together and gave their lives for their country. Walking around those graves, seeing people ages 17, 18, 19 who ran into a wood with people running at them screaming, holding bayonets at them, the shells raining down on their heads.

They kept going, they never gave up, and thats truly humbling."

The modern day footballer is the biggest piece of scum the world can offer.

Most of them are, the "Top" ones for sure. Have to agree.

TBH I would hope that modern footballers would have the sense to publicly oppose madness on the scale of the First World War.
