So I agree with some of these on here, not sure about the likes of Hitler, Caucescu (sp?), etc... dictators I'm less inclined to agree with - I wouldn't go so far as to call them 'talented'.
Gazza is definitely true...so much talent, but lack of self control and bad company stopped him fulfilling his potential.
OJ Simpson is not a bad shout either, but he did at least have a career in sports, it was only when he stopped playing that he 'threw it all away'.

He's thrown this once great club away and in to the clutches of a war crime stained criminal.

Jog on Faruad.
