Updated Edition
This is Paul Merson's honest and at times harrowing account of his recovery from gambling, drugs and alcohol abuse, starting with England's 1998 World Cup campaign and his bitter departure from Middlesbrough, and ending with the conclusion of the 1999/2000 Premiership season.
His insider's view of the England camp makes fascinating reading. On the domestic scene, Merson highlights his unique relationship with Gazza, the angst over his departure from Middlesbrough, and provides an illuminating insight into his rollercoaster journey with Aston Villa.
In this updated edition of his book, Merson unravels the next chapter in his recovery from his addictions, including the bouts of depression during 1999/2000 when he almost went off the rails.
