You could tell in the press conference that he was nervous and had no ego.

Hes now 31 and playing down in what is effectively the Third Division, its not like hes walked back in to a cushy little number in the Premiership earning around 20k a week. He says hes going to do community work, hopefully he'll be a bit charitiable as well.

He killed someone by his actions and it just so happened his profession was as a footballer, anyone on here would want to return to the career they had. Hes already missed the best years of his career.

i agree, the sentance he got was shocking

but he has served his sentance

3 years in prison, and 3 years on licence

but he's right, he's going back doing the job he did before hand,

Agree with Marc's post. Nobody agrees with the time he served but the bloke's got to move on with his life and work.

I think the time he served is a joke

But he has served it and is free to do as he wants, i dont think he should be allowed to play football again.

I think he is going to get plenty of stick from fans

the fact that he left the bloke for dead is enough for me to say that he should have served the full six years,plus the fact he left 3 of my mates in the car when he crashed it.he got away with being breatherlized(sp) and checked for drugs BOTH of which he would have failed on. 3 years on and he'sd killed one bloke,the widow died not long afterwards and a third man is stuggling to walk.bloke is a complete arshole if you ask me.

Not really, he served 3 out of 6 years. And do you ever really "serve the appropriate amount of time" for killing someone else? :look:

£160k PA apparently.

I personally think it's disgraceful that he's allowed back as a professional footballer. Fair enough in the Telegraph article found here:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2007/08/29/sfnold129.xml
he states "If I'd been a plumber, then I'd go back to plumbing" and he wants to go back into football. But surely he should have an ounce of dacorum and respect for the victims family :rolleyes: And him wanting to go round to schools and speak about what happened to him to try and prevent kids doing the same OMG that's just send the message that "it's ok if you kill someone cos you'll only serve a bit of your sentence and land on your feet again anyway, so go right ahead and jump in that car" :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Just MY opinion though :)


JILL :wave:

Also the Oldham fans singing this is wrong:

"Lee Hughes wherever you may be
They don't like you in Coventry
But we dont care
you've done your time
out on parole wearing number 9"

Exactly that.

The amount of media attention he's getting must be heart breaking for the family of his victims.

No doubt he's on a nice wage too.

He can give it all that, 'I'll have to live what what i've done forever' bollocks all he wants. He is scum for doing what he did.

Yeah I agree the sentence was a joke, but thats not his fault, nor is Oldham wanting to employ him, he needs to work to earn money, and, in reality, thats all he is doing.

Got to disagree.

Bloke has served his time, and is now free to pick up his career as is any other person released from prison.

Agreed, although by the looks of him he looks like a quivering wreck of a man i'd be amazed if he does anything at any decent level.

I heardhe starts with a suspension after being sent off in his last game for the prison team, fucking :rolleyes:

I think it's sick that this man gets a second bite at the cherry.

He doesn't deserve it.

If only this country wasn't so lame when it comes to punishment.
