- Footballers play an active role in our live as role models, as both adults and kids look up to them.
-
However, that doesn’t stop them from engaging in actions that are
rather unpleasing, which leads us to the conclusion that they are humans
after-all.
Recently, we analyzed a list of top footballers that have engaged in a rather shameless act of drink-driving.
Today, I will be looking at five footballers that have actually killed someone before:
1. Marcus Alonso:
Current Chelsea fans favourite was arrested in
2011 for his involvement in a car crash in Spain’s capital Madrid.
Alonso was driving at 122.8kmh in wet conditions in a 50kmh road when he
collided with a wall, killing one of the fellow passengers in the car, a
19-year-old woman.
Originally facing 4 years
in prison, Alonso had his sentence reduced to 21 months; it was later
dropped completely as the full-back paid 500,000 euros as damages to the
victim’s family.
