Desert Island Discs -- on now

Tony Adams. Football geezer. It's an amazing one.

Have just switched off... his voice is so depressing [shallow]

Bless him, he sounded lovely, only caught the last 15 mins.

I didn't know much about him before listening to the programme. Just that he was a footballer and a bit from the news about the drinking but hearing what he had to say surprised me in a good way.

Arsenal
He used to visit the Children's Ward at the Whittington Hospital
Does he have alcohol problems?
I didn't hear it

I heard the first 10 mins or so, when he was getting upset about his mum's death. Was wiping tears as I was driving .

His parents really didn't do him any favours by letting him not get an education, so all credit to him for going back to school & working forhis phd in the end.

I'd never heard of him before D.I.D. Rather liked his music taste too, have been humming Lets Groove to myself all day

Just listened on iplayer
Was a good listen
Pleased he has managed to beat the demon drink- a massive achievement
