In this episode, Tony explains the key factors that lead someone to developing an addiction. In 2000 Tony founded the Sporting Chance Clinic that provides treatment for sports men and women suffering from drink, drug or gambling addictions. In 1996 Tony sought treatment for his addiction, and has been in recovery ever since. But despite all his successes on the pitch, Tony’s life away from football spiralled out of control due to his alcoholism, leading to a ‘lost decade’ and a spell in prison for drunk-driving. He also won 66 caps for England and played at four major tournaments. Tony played for Arsenal for over 20 years, uniquely captaining a title-winning team in three different decades- the 80s, 90s and noughties. What causes addiction and how to face it, with Arsenal and England legend Tony Adams.
