Totally agree. I grew up idolising our sporting legends and like so many young lads, trying to emulate them. I well remember my lad 'winning' a penalty by diving. He admitted after the match that he'd seen Ian Wright of Arsenal doing it so he thought he would try it. I ripped into him about honesty and integrity. That's the dangerous message that gets sent out when our sporting legends misbehave.

Sad times...
