Basically footballers are you and me and all your mates, except they happen to be good at football. Being good at football does not make you a better human being. They're exactly the same as us, only with access to untold riches and the lifestyle associated with that. It would be nice if they were better role models for the kids etc, but the fact of the matter is this just isn't going to happen. The problem is not that footballers aren't perfect, it's that some people expect them to be.
