Winning medals might've come easily to Lars Elstrup, member of Denmark's triumphant Euro 92 side, however losing his marbles was sadly even easier. The former Luton Town top scorer chucked it in at age 30, citing depression, and from there his decline began.
The lovable Dane joined a cult known as "Wild Goose" based in a farmhouse outside of Odense and refused to see his family for several years. He later recovered and attempted a comeback at age 36.
Unfortunately the story does not end there. Esltrup relapsed into mental illness, indecently exposed himself in public and, whilst naked, wrestled a policeman and slapped a school boy.
But then again who hasn't?
