Adam Peaty aims dig at Katya Jones as she puts new Strictly partner Tony Adams above him Adam Peaty vented his competitive streak when he aimed a dig at his former Strictly partner Katya Jones after she failed to prioritise the Olympic swimmer's new book. While it is equally honest, particularly about Adams mental health struggles, it doesn’t reach the difficult task of living up to its predecessor. The dust jacket of this book is slightly damaged/ripped, however, this does not affect the internal condition. He became one of the most high-profile recovering alcoholics in the UK; [15] his battle with alcohol is detailed in his autobiography, Addicted, which was released in May 1998 to enormous critical acclaim.

Sober | Book by Tony Adams | Official Publisher Page | Simon

An honest and interesting account of Arsenal and England captain Tony Adams' struggle with alcoholism. Adams joined Portsmouth as assistant manager to Harry Redknapp in June 2006, a position left vacant by the departure of Kevin Bond. All these years working with people wrestling with their own deep darknesses suggests to me this is true. A statue honouring Adams was unveiled at Emirates stadium on 9 December 2011, along with statues of Thierry Henry and Herbert Chapman. Sober gave me a much better impression of Adam’s post playing career than the easy narrative of failed manager which I suspect many fans of English football have.My wife’s not my mum, as she keeps reminding me, but when I get poorly I still want scrambled eggs done the way Mother did them. He embodied the Arsenal I fell in love with; he bridged the span from Graham to Rioch to Wenger; and there is a bronze statue of him (and Thierry Henry) out in front of the stadium. Much respect for his sobriety, as for all women and men who found a way to a holistic way of living after kicking addiction in the face. There are loads of entertaining stories, mainly off the pitch, which led to the England Captain's revelation that he needed to quit drinking and seek professional help.

In the debut album Rock Art and the X-Ray Style by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros, the opening track is named 'Tony Adams'. Tony Adams' autobiography reveals that he is not just a stupid man but a stupid footballing man (a man who should never be handed another opportunity to manage a football club). Adams's former Arsenal and England teammate Paul Merson, himself a recovering alcoholic, is also a patron of the charity.If you have experienced any kind of mental health problems or addiction problems I would highly recommend this book. Until then I'd been living in Canada, and I had no access to football beyond some indoctrination from my Scouser neighbours (which made me a Gooner rather than a Red or a Toffee because I couldn't, in good conscience, follow their clubs) and an occasional and quite rare international match.

However, Katya is undeterred and is minded towards taking him all the way to victory, as she revealed in a recent interview. He brought the money home from lorry driving and mum said “I married your father because he had a job and didn’t knock me about”.I remember going to watch football with my dad on the tube and having pie, fish or burger, with chips. To win the things he did whilst being drunk is ridiculous and then to get sober, come back and score that iconic goal against Everton to secure the title, WOW. He won league titles in three separate decades, and after the Gunners moved to their new stadium at the Emirates , it was fitting that a statue of him was erected outside to celebrate his extraordinary career. This was also his first goal since he scored in a friendly against Saudi Arabia in November 1988, thus making the record for the longest gap between goals for England.
