"Chelsea" dominant talent spent 14 years behind bars

One of the most promising Swedish players, Josef Hallgren, can already be crossed off the list of talents.

A few seasons ago, the then just turned eighteen-year-old striker was courted by teams like "Chelsea", "Rangers", "Hamburg", and "Heerenveen", and went to their trials.

However, the player belonging to the "Larje-Angereds" team single-handedly ruined a promising career and irreversibly distanced millions of euros in the bank account.

J. Hallgren was sentenced to 14 years in prison for murder.

Last spring, he, together with a gang of hooligans, attacked fans watching the Champions League match between "Barcelona" and "Man City" in a Swedish restaurant, killing two of them. Eight other supporters were seriously injured.

The former striker's coach said: "He was a fantastic player, but in Josef's eyes, you could see a growing evil and a peculiar sadness."
