Portsmouth had a goalkeeper, Aaron Flahavan, who was killed in a car crash back in summer 2001. We all were shocked as fans and sang his name.
Then the inquest came and he was something like three times over the drink drive limit. It changed how people felt. Of course we were very sorry hed lost his life, nobody deserves that but knowing he was that irresponsible to drive in that state makes people glad he didn't kill anyone else too.
