Boro legend says the way that former colleague Tony Mowbray was fleeced out of £30k shows anyone can be hoodwinked
Reading the Gazette the other day, I was sad to see Mogga had been fleeced out of £30,000 by a lifestyle coach who arranged a luxury Dubai holiday for him and his family.
That must have been some holiday, by the way.
But it’s sad to see.
The sharks are always circling if you let your guard down, and football attracts its fair share.
It’s blunt to say it, but some players have a lot of money and the perception is that they don’t have the intelligence to go with it.
I’m not saying that’s the case with Mogga, because even the brightest individuals can be hoodwinked by scammers who appear to be genuine.
I always handled my own affairs in my playing career and didn’t have an agent.
I pretty much used to ask Gary Pallister what he was on at Man United, and asked for the same.
Mogga’s case is a reminder to us all: Some people aren’t what they seem.
