My understanding is that if he would want to come back and play that it would be for the Raiders and that would be it. He had no reservations about playing in what he called “the wild league” because of the lack of Fifa affiliation. It was an accident, everyone said, and TV viewers should butt out and stick to shouting in a futile manner at an unlistening screen. He had come close on several occasions but his fear of losing ensured that he did.
