The ex-footballer, who made millions of Euros playing in England and Turkey, is now struggling to cope with his life as he has also been handed a year ban by FIFA from playing football.

 

34-year-old former Arsenal star told UK's Daily Mirror that schoolmates bulled his son after they learned that he was suspended for a year by FIFA.

"At school you know how the children talk. They were laughing at him and saying, 'Your Dad was banned by FIFA and will not play any more'. So it was very, very difficult," he said.
