10 Footballers Who Got Kicked Out Of The Dressing Room

Tipped to be a star of the game after signing professional terms with Newcastle United in 2008, Nile Ranger ultimately became a cautionary tale of how a poor disciplinary record can completely derail an otherwise promising career.

Early potential failed to materialise into goalscoring form on Tyneside, and Ranger would ultimately leave Newcastle by mutual consent in 2013 after failing to endear himself to both the fans and staff of the club.

Short stints at Swindon Town, Blackpool, and Southend United would follow with varying degrees of success, but Ranger failed to clean up his act. With an exhaustive rap sheet, including assault, robbery and criminal damage, Ranger has actively sabotaged his chances of finding success in football with his behaviour in his personal life, and after being released by Southend nearly two years ago now, it appears unlikely that another club will take the risk of signing him and that his career is practically over.
