Newark, Notts – Na wah, wetin we dey see for dis life? Last last, former Premier League referee, David Coote, don turn delivery boy! E no fit believe am himself as e dey drop packages for Evri, after dem sack am for him controversial referee career.
At 42, Coote don show say e dey try make am honest living. As e drop package for one couple wey get Ring doorbell, dem dey ask wahala. The woman say her husband be Liverpool fan, and when e see Coote, e just dey wonder wetin happen. “Na dis man wey don dey deliver packages now?” she shock say (well, who better go collect package from a disgraced ref?).
After dem catch am for one video wey show am dey complain about Klopp, him saga come start. Everybody see as e dey snort white powder, and dem no fit keep him job again. “I dey try move forward,” Coote talk. “I wan tiny responsibility and purpose for my life.” (No be small matter o!)
Coote dey work close to him home now, trying to keep him head together since UEFA don ban am till next June. E don even run Leeds Marathon to raise money for him uncle wey dey suffer motor neurone disease. Now, na family and friends matter him dey focus on. “I dey do wetin I want to do,” he yarn.
Some friends don come back am talk say him dey alright, wey dem call am “great lad” just suffer for him own stupidity (abi no be wetin happen when we no think well am?). One source talk say, he fit still get chance to ref again, but for now, bills na him matter. Evri no talk anything about him employment matter.
