POLICE found $9000 in cash on footy great Wayne Carey after his latest dramatic arrest.
The former AFL superstar was storing the cash in a bag when he was detained during wild scenes at his luxury Port Melbourne apartment on Sunday night.
It is believed he told officers he won the money on the punt and regularly carried large sums of cash.
A former Kangaroo teammate said yesterday Carey was always destined for trouble.
He said the first sign of trouble came when the 17-year-old joined the team for a 1988 trip to Perth and ended up locked up by police for fighting.
"That was the first night we'd ever met him. That was before he'd even played under-19s. Before he'd even put on a North Melbourne guernsey, we were covering his a---," the player said.
He said Carey had always enjoyed the company of people who would lead him to trouble.
"He's always surrounded himself with f---heads."
