In all likelihood, probably not. The word on Koumas from those close to him was always that he hated football, and saw it purely as a chore he had to perform to get his (generous) salary every month. Imagine Gordon Ramsey choosing to spend his time cooking people microwave ready-meals, or Salman Rushdie knocking out dirty limericks for joke books, and I think you'd have Koumas's attitude to the sport he was so prodigiously talented at in a nutshell.
I'm glad he deigned to help us out with that talent when he did, but really, you can't help but shake your head and wonder what's worse: the waste of an insanely promising career, or the fact that he never even seemed to care that it was being wasted.
