Former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder Alex Song admits career regrets.

Song has owned up to being a "waster" during his time at Arsenal - and joining Barcelona purely for the money.

The ex-Gunner said: "I would go to training and see Thierry Henry - the King - turn up in an absolute gem of a car. I told myself I wanted the same car at all costs.

"I went to the dealership, signed the papers and arranged to pay for it by standing order - and just like that I had the same car as The King.

"But I swear that I had to hand the car back inside two months. All my money was going on filling it with petrol.

"I told them: 'Give me a Toyota - this car's too much for me.'

"When I next went to training Thierry asked me: 'Where's your car, son?' I told him it's on a higher level than me.

"During my entire time at Arsenal I couldn't even save £100,000, while people thought I must be a millionaire."
