In Paul Merson: Football, Gambling and Me, Merson examines why his life has been so badly blighted by gambling over the past three decades. Recently reformed, he’s determined to understand the triggers that led to his addiction. He’ll meet therapists and scientists, while asking whether another generation of young Brits are at risk of going down the same path.
