How apt that my country’s two most famous people from this decade should have near identical career paths. Think about the similarities.
Two fresh-faced, good looking men, high hopes, great expectation, obsession with images, lots of great talking about what would happen, brilliant branding and self-marketing.
But the actions never quite matched the talk or the promises. The substance to follow the promises and the hype was missing, be it meaningful political delivery or simply delivery of match winning corner or free-kick to lead England to World Cup success.
And now both these global celebrities coincidentally will find themselves taking the American mega bucks as they head into semi-retirement like two Disney make-believe characters that ordinary people stopped believing in a long time ago.

- Author of 8 Books. From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, I have travelled extensively across 6 continents and many so-called dangerous countries, almost 100 in total. Go further, see more. My other passions in life are Cricket, Rugby, Football, Politics and Current Affairs. These are my thoughts and observations on all sorts of topical subjects. Maybe they make sense to you. Maybe you disagree. Either way there's no harm in challenging received wisdom.
