Troy Deeney: I don’t like the way football is going

Troy Deeney doesn’t like the way modern football is going.

The Watford captain told Darren Fletcher and Jermaine Jenas on the Friday Night Social that statistics show 74% of players who sign a professional contract at 18 are out of football within five years.

He worries young footballers just care about the nice cars and Instagram posts and have no concept of the real world.
