John Paintsil about his wife, and his football colleagues
“My advice to the young players is that they should be very careful who they call a friend and who they allow into their homes. The mistake I made was that I was very open and regarded most people as brothers but someone I call a friend sent a picture to my ex-wife while we were out and that started a whole lot of issues.”
He added that he saw his real friends during his alleged assault case with his wife, Richlove somewhere in 2013 which landed him in Police custody.
John Paintsil, 37, played for West Ham United, Fulham and Leicester City before hanging his boots.
