Tony Adams is sitting at the head of a table in a downstairs room at a townhouse in Marylebone. It is 30 years since he went on a 44-day bender after England were knocked out of Euro 96. ‘I'm really proud that I've not pissed the bed for 30 years, guys,’ he says. Okay, you can have your sponsorship in football, but every 14 seconds on television, there’s an advert for a gambling company. ‘It's a celebration of recovery,’ Adams says.
