Having dropped out of school your post football career options are pretty limited. Also do sportspeople invest all their massive earnings in their future or just blow cash in the present? Most likely they live for the moment.Abena Serwaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888021677219851484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7564356874518161776.post-66813641888433839702009-11-04T17:30:27.368+00:002009-11-04T17:30:27.368+00:00You're so right!

Ya footballers were down and outs back then. It's best to have the requisite education in addition to the game because without it one won't succeed at the top of the game in Europe.Moreover it is a gamble so one should have a fall back position. On Essien, he finished SSS3, so no drop out in the true sense of the word but he lacks confidence when speaking to the media.He doesn't do official press conferences.
