“Addicted” is a book that does not lay off from being brutally honest. At the same time, it paints a remarkable picture about how well the players managed to perform despite their off-field frolics, leaving one wondered how much more they would have achieved if they had taken care of their bodies. It charts his 17 years in the game (to the time the book was written) and is a fascinating insight into how the game was administered during his time, how people were least bothered about fitness back then, and how unprofessional most players were when it came to being ready for the game. The Arsenal and England captain talks about his time in the game, his bouts with alcohol abuse, and the subsequent recovery. “Addicted” by Tony Adams and Ian Ridley firmly falls in the former category.
