Kenny Sansom

[New York Red]

Poor bugger. I had no idea that he was in the condition that he is. I really hope he gets the help he needs.

[Murphman]

He's had problems all of his life, he owned a bookies and would put bets on in it, so effectively just paying the tax. I hope he come through this.

Yeah, living in the Tamasha in Bromley. The type of curryhouse where the colonially dressed staff will take off their turban and give it to you to wear if you tell them it's your birthday.

F*cking dump, didn't even realise they had a hotel there.

 

Alcoholism's an absolute b*stard.

The pictures in this are quite shocking : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3114093/England-football-ace-Kenny-Sansom-says-wants-kill-battles-alcoholism-gambling-addiction-homelessness.html

 

Really really hope he gets the help he needs and that it works for him. Get well soon.

Do wonder what Arsenal are doing to help.

 

Maybe they've tried.

They apparently do what they can when they can on the QT, for a lot of ex-players.

A friend of mine bumped into him a couple of years ago. He was in a pub, gambling a significant amount of money on a slot machine. Didn't know it was so bad

Tamasha

Means comedy or having a laugh in punjabi/urdu/hindi that does. Kind of ironic really
