Dead footballers' wives

For the past few weeks, there seem to have been non-stop news reports on the failing health of an alchoholic former footballer. Now he has finally died, the eulogies are pouring in. However, I have yet to hear a quote from his first wife (Angie, I believe). Perhaps, in the midst of all the fawning and sycophancy, the words of someone on the receiving end of his drunken violence might provide an, ahem, sobering perspective?
Nah. Let's airbrush it out of history, and just talk up the playboy lifestyle, right?

P - was he known to be a bit of wife-beater, or are you presuming? If he was, it's definitely been kept under wraps - have heard nothing about it.

He was arrested on several occasions, accused of assaulting his partner. As often happens in domestic violence cases, the charges were later dropped.
