The seventh episode of the Floodlit Dreams podcast saw Arsenal and England legend Tony Adams joined by Ian Ridley and host Sybil Ruscoe. In their 45-minute discussion they touched on football, mental health and the two books that Ian wrote with Tony: Addicted and Sober.

First published in 1998, Addicted shone a light on Tony’s battle against alcoholism, of which he talks candidly. He followed that up in 2017 with Sober, which covered the second half of his story, including the foundation of Sporting Chance, which Tony set up with the proceeds from Addicted. 

Ian shares his own stories of his time with Tony, including meals with Marco van Basten and floppy discs worth millions.
