MC Prussian Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 ... has been jailed for fraud. The 24-year old former Derby County player, at one point on £4'000 a week, pretended to be Gaël Kakuta, lived off stolen credit card details obtained from a gym in London, and led the high life that he no longer could afford when his regular income as a pro footballer vanished bit by bit, sucked up by the wrong crowd surrounding him. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-29724950
Jimothy Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 That's got to be a new low. Being jailed for pretending to be Gaël Kakuta!
J.Lisemore Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 Was apparently bought by Derby for £1M? I like to think I've got quite a broad knowledge of football, but I've never heard of this guy.

I agree, never heard of him, and I watch a lot off games and read a lot of football gossip and transfer stories. What a pollock though... Got what he deserved
Stadt Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 Of all the footballers to pretend to be he chose Gaël Kakuta
MC Prussian Posted 23 October 2014 Author Posted 23 October 2014 Of all the footballers to pretend to be he chose Gaël Kakuta To be fair, there is a resemblance. Any other household football name, and he would've run into trouble.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 He looks nothing like; absolutely nothing like.
MC Prussian Posted 24 October 2014 Author Posted 24 October 2014 He looks nothing like; absolutely nothing like. Shave off the moustache and it's pretty close.
MC Prussian Posted 24 October 2014 Author Posted 24 October 2014 Is it? Yep. Why do you think out of all the footballers in this world he had to choose Gaël Kakuta?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 Yep. Why do you think out of all the footballers in this world he had to choose Gaël Kakuta? Because he's a bit dim?
MC Prussian Posted 24 October 2014 Author Posted 24 October 2014 Because he's a bit dim? Because he looks nothing like all the other footballers?
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 Looks more like Robert Webb's black cousin
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 The chap pretending to be Kakuta has eyes in different postcodes, a square jaw and a receding hairline! It isn't just me that can't see the resemblance, surely?
Finnegan Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 Some of you would be ****ing useless criminals. He's obviously not going to pose as someone incredibly famous, talented and successful is he?
Aus Fox Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 This is nearly as bad as Ali Dia ( I think) who claimed to be Grorge Weah's cousin and got a game for Southampton.
beemeroo Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 Some of you would be ****ing useless criminals. He's obviously not going to pose as someone incredibly famous, talented and successful is he? Hey, it's me Shinji Kagawa. Could I open up a credit line please?
Stadt Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 Hey, it's me Shinji Kagawa. Could I open up a credit line please?No you're supposed to Keisuke Honda, I'm Kagawa
Finnegan Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 I used to have the nickname Dwight Howard. True story that.
Guest MattP Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 To be fair to MC Prussian some white guys do have a hard job telling black guys apart, I had nightmares with the first series of The Wire. The Chinese struggle with us in my experience. Imagine being in prison having to tell people you are in for impersonating Gael Kakuta.
bovril Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 He looks completely different But then I would never have guessed as before seeing this thread I had no idea who either were.

Guest MattP Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 You struggled with the Wire? Bigtime. Slim, Avon and String a nightmare for me. Prop Joe and the Bunk kept me same.
Finnegan Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 Bigtime. Slim, Avon and String a nightmare for me. **** off did they . I'm not having that, you're just hoping someone calls you racist. I'm not biting.
Guest MattP Posted 24 October 2014 Posted 24 October 2014 Ok I'm taking the piss with Slim. But genuinely struggled to tell the difference between Avon and String for a few episodes first time I watched it. It's not racist obviously, some people do have genuine trouble with it
