Well, there we go, nobody makes mistakes on here it seems, and should you have the gall to make one, never should you work again or try to rebuild your life at all.
How about this, he'[s been locked up for the last few years, thereby taking a chunk out of his career which was already short to begin with, and given its with swindon, he'll make little more than most on here. So it might be fair to say that he has been aiming towards this since school. When others around him got trades and further educations, he got football. When he hits 35 or maybe 40ish cos he's a goalie, what is he to do, its hard enough to get work without an eduation or trade, never mind one when you are approaching middle age and only of use to for a short period, if at all. Why should he get a good job when there will be younger more qualified people going for the same thing?
Doesn't sound like a path to an enjoyable life to me, but hey he might get lucky. He, for all we know, may have manic episodes and struggles to function like he used to as a result. He may even have some underlying injury that may hamper his progress in the game. He might even turn to alcoholism or drugs to block out the pain of the crimes he committed. But i suppose to some that would be too good for him.
Burn the witch we say.
We had something similar in my family. We never fully recovered. We had to move on. There's no other way. It only eats you from the inside out if you don't.
