He spent 4 years at Chelsea earning £40k per week, but he only played 12 matches. He refused to leave because no other club would pay him as much https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/punditfeed.com/nostalgia/winston-bogarde/amp/ As I said, nearly every footballer is there to play football, money is just a part of it. Obviously some people are in it for the money, but I'd guess 95% of footballers just want to play. And looking at O'Neills career I'd say he's one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought a brilliant ethic and workrate to a despondent club. Pity the horrendous injury he suffered did for his career. Yep, and the talk at the time was as much about what he brought to the team off-field as on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe that is true in 99% of cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
