BANG PREMIER
Footballer-turned-porn star Oliver Spedding has died aged 34.
Spedding was an academy footballer at Premier League side Crystal Palace but a stint in prison caused Spedding to fall out of love with the beautiful game and he starred in a number of explicit films for £150 per movie.
The tragic porn star – who met his girlfriend Sophie Anderson in the adult entertainment business – expressed regret at his career move because he believes that he would have had a more fruitful career if he had stayed in football.
He told the ‘Anything Goes with James English’ podcast: “When I was at Crystal Palace, if I’d have stayed with them, then I could have been earning a lot more playing football.
“I used to fight as well, maybe that could have gone somewhere.
“I was good at both of those things, but being a porn star, I thought that would be just as good. But it’s not as good as people think.”
Spedding’s former club Croydon FC held a minute’s silence in tribute to the player before a recent game and also shared a tribute online.
The non-league outfit said: “Croydon FC are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our former player, Oliver Spedding.
