Off the Chest is the confession of an anonymous footballer, charting his descent – from the glittering heights of the Premier League – into a degenerate world of gambling, sex and drug taking…
“Like crack fiends, gamblers will ruin anyone and everything they can for their next hit. Beg, borrow and steal all for a chance to win money which will never be enough.”
Having worked his way out of a broken home on a housing estate, our narrator - desperate to fund his addictions and rid himself of a mounting debt- commits the ultimate act of treason: he fixes a game. This lovable anti-hero finally frees himself from the terrible grip of the match fixers, but will have to live with the consequences forever. Can we learn from his terrifying example?
Where did it all go wrong? Find out in Off the Chest.
