Gary Charles had the world at his feet. But behind the scenes, he was fighting the toughest battle! What exactly went wrong? This is the story of how alcohol addiction shattered a promising football career.
Born in 1970, Gary Charles wasn’t served things in a silver spoon. He grew up in a bustling part of London, a place where the streets were loud and everyone seemed in a hurry. His family had a small flat, always a bit cramped, but there was always love in the air, and laughter bounced off the walls.
Gary found his escape on the football pitch. It didn't matter if it was a patch of worn-out grass in the park or the proper pitch at school; the ball at his feet made the world melt away. Gary wasn't the biggest lad, but he was quick. He could twist and turn, leaving defenders looking like they were stuck in mud. Even local coaches started to take notice of the skinny kid with the dazzling feet.
Gary Charles career was ruined by the Gazza challenge in the FA Cup final fact
