00:00 Vance, probably too strong a word, but I had a boy who made my opinions on gambling and
00:05 its influence, not just on football, but in the world today and the damage it does.
00:10 This is just another example of it, really.
00:14 I was shocked by the situation with Ivan Tony when it came out.
00:20 He received the length of ban that he did.
00:23 So now I suppose Denali's ban being accused, if you like, or judged of committing the same
00:31 crime, one is perhaps a bit less surprised.
00:34 But ten months is an incredible time.
00:38 Stop playing football for one year, basically, and then have to come back to it.
00:43 For him it's a tragedy, really, and for the club too.
00:47 But that's where we are with betting at the moment, and I suppose any players who feel
00:54 that maybe I can still get away with doing a bit of betting while I'm a footballer, maybe
00:59 they should really start to think twice now after what we've seen happen to Ivan and to
01:03 Sandra.
