Chopper Fears For Bosnich

Harris, speaking after reports revealed that Bosnich has got his B Sample drug test back, said "If he's found guilty, then his career has most probably come to an end as he would be banned worldwide for over a year.

"For somebody that misses that long, it's going to be very difficult to get back into the swing of things. So I think his career is non-existent.

"It's like everything else - when you play with fire, you should expect to get burned. If he has failed the test, then he has to suffer the consequences."

Diego Maradona and Claudio Caniggia both came back to football following similar drug problems, although Maradona has repeatedly been back on cocaine since his initial ban. But they both had international and club careers to come back to. What has Bosnich got?

He is well out of the picture at Chelsea and will probably be sacked, and he is also out of the Australia picture. Maybe Chopper will be right...

He also has no sympathy for Bosnich, obver claims that he is depressed: "Depression is when you can't afford to pay your mortgage. I'd like to be earning 40 grand a week and getting depressed," he added on the BBC.

"Things have obviously changed over the years. These fellas can't afford to step out of line, they're like film stars, but I think a lot of them are overpaid, spoilt footballers."

Chopper, just like when he was playing, holds nothing back!
