Bottled tells the story of English football's complicated
relationship with booze through the experiences of the players who
found themselves in crisis when they could no longer put it down -
from George Best and Paul Gascoigne to Tony Adams and Paul Merson,
as well as many others who escaped the headlines. Footballers play
under intense pressure in the unforgiving glare of the media
spotlight. But what do their stories tell us about ourselves? Are
some challenges they face specific to a player's lifestyle? With
insights from those at the sharp end, here is an examination of
footballers in need and the help available from the industry.
Untangling the complex web of links between alcohol and the
beautiful game, Bottled explores the stories that characterised the
origins of many of England's clubs, as churches and breweries vied
for the souls of young men. From trashed hotel rooms to the rooms
of Alcoholics Anonymous via the China Jump club, Bottled navigates
the journey from the stars to the gutter and, sometimes, back
again.
