Reminds me a little of Frank Worthington a great entertainer with a similar lifestyle. Frank often used the same betting shop as myself back in the 80s and 90s.

I know of a footballer playing in the Championship now. He played for a Premiership 2nd team just over 18 months ago. He was on £165 per week then with lodgings paid by the clubs in S London. Then he went out on loan for a few months in Dorset. Now he's on loan to a midland club.
And, now he's on £10k per week. The bloke is just 21. |

From an article by Paul Hayward.
Francis called him “a happy-go-lucky type who lives from day to day” – a euphemism, given his struggle with what would now be diagnosed as a gambling addiction. A compulsion to bet was regarded back then more as a colourful character trait and a mine of good anecdotes than an illness needing treatment. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/feb/25/stan-bowles-chaotic-lifestyle-could-not-disguise-his-brilliance-on-the-pitch |
