Still only 29, former Arsenal, Blackburn Rovers, and Tottenham Hotspur winger David Bentley has spoken about how he has fallen out of love with football.
Without a club since leaving Spurs last June, Bentley told Des Kelly on BT's Life's a Pitch that he wasn't mentally equipped to cope with the modern game.
The further his career progressed, the more he fell out of love with a game he describes as becoming increasingly "robotic".
After initially going over to Spain for a planned three month break, Bentley has not gone back since and indicated that he doesn't intend to.
He said: "Three months happened and, my partner, she fell pregnant with twins. And it became sort of, I didn't wanna take myself away."
