If true is the biggest part of that. Going by the rough time lines he would have scouted them both before either broke into Atletico Madrid or Benfica first teams.
I'm not that clued up on employment law (happy to be corrected) but would Keogh being injured long-term, where as Bennett and Lawrence being ok potentially skew things in terms of a breach of contract. Then consider neither were sentenced to actual prison time, I imagine if both were given jail time Derby may have terminated all three's contracts. I also can't be 100% sure but I think all 3 got offered new deals at reduced wages after the crash and Keogh was the only one to turn it down.
My best friend's a doctor, and he described the symptoms he experienced after the jag as follows: "lethargy, reduced appetite, fever and night sweats. Those are recognised side-effects but they weren't pleasant." On the upside, they only lasted for around 48 hours, and he's very passionate about the benefits of people - even those who aren't clinically vulnerable - getting jabbed.
