JEFF WHITLEY

There are plenty of stories of footballers suffering with addiction problems, but there is none quite as shocking as Jeff Whitley's. While he was playing at Manchester City, he was a chronic alcoholic and hooked on drugs - to the point where his nights out would spill over from after the match to taking place pretty much all week. In a stark and brutally honest interview with the Blue Moon Podcast's David Mooney, the former midfielder explains how he got to the point of waking up and wanting to die - and how he overcame his addictions to get his life back on track.
