Micah Richards is 33 years old. He played for 14 seasons. Not a bad life at all, especially with his wages. He invested wisely, and his punditry career is lucrative. Sure, injuries blunted his potential greatness, but he seems to love his life and is at peace with his career and accomplishments. Good for him!

Very rare to see that level of honesty from a pundit. Naturally a specimen and if it weren’t for injuries he’d have likely went far but it’s very refreshing to hear someone admit their mistakes and still have a smile instead of the bitterness you see with some ex players blaming managers and everyone else for their shortcomings.

The problem for any player who bulks up at a young age is the extra muscle you put on makes your bones and ligaments unable to cope with the sheer forces your body generates with twisting and turning. Big injuries are a major risk especially if you are fast. I recall Brazilian Ronaldo at 17 playing for PSV before going to Barcelona and Inter, bulking up after leaving PSV and as a result started getting many knee ligament injuries.

I love Micah hes such a laugh to listen to but when thing you notice about the way he talks about his career compared to Shearer and Linekar is they both downplay their achievements (which were immense). Even though hes doing it in a funny way Micah plays up his achievements - largely because he had so much potential early but didn't really kick on to fulfill it and then finished early due to injury. He makes it funny and as banter but you can tell there is a lot of regret he didn't fulfill his potential

I remember Micah Richards playing, but apart from him swearing on TV at age 18 I wouldn't be able to tell you much about him, when he left City, where he went after, etc. I certainly don't remember any of these "accolades" he bangs on about. Whereas I clearly remember when I was at school, kids in the playground would pretend to be Alan Shearer when they scored a goal, and were buying Blackburn shirts with his name on. He was genuinely the biggest star in the country for a large part of the '90s.
