So with Boris throwing in the towel in the running for leader of the Conservative Party, Andy VDM for us and his love of anything 'toxic' and now Johnny Manziel in the US (former Heisman winner, fired from Cleveland Browns) - who else is someone that has thrown it all away?

To be honest, a wasted talent is one of my pet peeves.

Someone with seemingly boat loads of talent and in enviable positions most of us would chop our own arm off for - to then throw it away for a love of (delete as appropriate) booze, drugs, partying, lack of motivation etc... is deplorable.

Ok, I know with Shandy, he had his personal reasons that drove him to 'abuse', but still - what might have been.

Johnny Manziel is just an idjut...classic example of too much, too soon and no discipline!

Enoch Powell.

Double first at Cambridge, youngest professor in the British Empire, one of only two men to go from Private to Brigadier in the entire second world war, MP at 38, gave one of the great anti-Imperialist speeches of all time (the Hola Massacre Speech of 1959), threw it away for ever during the course of twenty minutes one evening.

I met Enoch Powell when he was MP for Down South, he was very polite and charming, nothing like you would have imagined him to be.

Could have been a fantastic indie actor as he got older, the fool lives off his childhood still though.
