Kicking the habit

What leads a giant of the soccer world to violence, blackouts, a broken
marriage, a prison sentence and . . . bedwetting? Answer: alcohol. Lots and lots
of it. Addicted is the story of how England stalwart and Arsenal FC captain Tony
Adams overcame a crippling booze addiction by harnessing his overpowering
passion for football and is an inspirational tale which pulls no punches. A
Christmas warning. Written with Ian Ridley, published by HarperCollins,
£16.99, ISBN 0002187949.
