Hit rock bottom and seems to be getting back on track.

Good luck to him. He was never a player I particularly liked or admired but with what he's been through in losing his wife, who knows how any of us would react when faced with a similar set of circumstances?

[BILL DE VALL]

Yes you've got to feel for the chap
4 kids to feed with no mother,gambling and alchoholism as his crutches

I hope he makes good decisions in the future and stays off the nags and the booze

[WikiVilla]

Tragic, hope he pulls through this

Hardly alcoholism is it? His wife died, he was in bits so he drunk a bit. Think a lot of people would have done the same. Hopefully someone will give him a chance if he wants to get back into football on the coaching side.

[BILL DE VALL]

alright then not alchoholism
just standard 'Scottish level of drinking as your wifes died'

Dunn, the story doesn't say one way or the other.

they mention alcoholism. A bit sensationalised i think, but nowadays if you go for a drink after work you're verging on ending up drinking meths in a shop doorway according to the media

Arguably the most Scottish looking person on the planet
Sounds like the surgeon was a butcher by trade

Rehab centres drumming up business I think.

True, but that doesn't mean that alcoholism isn't a serious problem that ruins the lives of sufferers and their families.

Poor bugger, I cant even imagine what he's been through. God bless him and his kids

Mel Gibson for one. It turned him into an anti-semite.

Bereavement, alcohol and spread betting. That's a bad combination.
