At the same time hes lost 3 years of his life, missed 3 years of seeing his children grow up and lost his place at the top level of football. 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.

100% agree with everything said in that post

---

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

hes got a job, better than most ex cons

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.

No doubt he's on a nice wage too.

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"

I think Naths point is he shouldn't have the opportunity to have 2 chances, 3 years for killing a man whilst driving drunk is a sham and my thoughts go to the guys family having to watch him come out of prison and walk right back into professional football.

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.

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.
