Watching Iraq I wondered what had happened to Alex Samizadeh. Turns out he was Iranian but his wiki page surprised me:

In October 2020 Samizadeh and three others were accused of providing Iranian nationals with false identification and travel documents, with a view to helping them enter the UK illegally. He stood for trial where it was stated he had a false identity known as Mohammad Hossein Samizadeh in Italy in which he would use to facilitate the illegal immigrations by opening them bank accounts and make travel arrangements by having them use the false identities. His laptop also contained images of other people's stolen passports. He denied all statements.^[14]

In 2023, while playing in Australia he is accused of conducting a crypo scam where he fled the country with investors money.

In 2024, he became the subject of another fraud investigation, relating to property management and in 2025 he was again investigated for fraud in relation to property and withholding deposits.

We've had a few bad lads over the years.

I have it on good authority that Kevin Davies was once caught doing 33 in a 30 mile an hour zone.

George Oghani headbutted a linesman during an amateur match and wasn’t Stig Tofting done for attacking a cafe owner?

Also Delroy Facey for match fixing and more recently Kyle Dempsey.

We could probably field a criminal 11.

He used to drink in my brothers pub the crosspool tavern in Sheffield.

Every night, same time. 4 pints. Then he'd have a session on Sunday.

Nah. Jon Otsemobor. Played for us once.

Some story about him being shot in the arse in a Liverpool nightclub. Officially noted in his wiki page as ...

"He made headlines at the age of 20 when as an innocent bystander he was shot in the buttocks by an armed gang-member gunman in a Liverpool nightclub".

... & I have a bridge to sell.

I seem to remember that was after he moved to Burnley but I could well be wrong as usual .

Wayne something or other got done for stealing suitcases from an airport ........ or that may have been a drunken dream .

yeah think I heard he'd go back home for his Sunday session and at the end of it drive back to Southampton for training Monday

Had to double check I was right because I thought i remembered reading it, but Sanmi Odelusi got sent down last year for 7 years. Wrong'un.
